![]() ![]() ![]() This is a series of non-obvious and non-documented steps that I have successfully worked through and documented:ĭownload the latest BIOS from the ASUS X102BA Support page The way to fix not being able to sleep is, according to web lore, to reflash the BIOS entirely. Pressing F2 on startup to enter the American Megatrends BIOS showed that BIOS to be rather sparse in settings nothing could be tweaked to fix the shutdown problem. Since this happened under both Ubuntu and Windows, it was clearly a BIOS, rather than an OS, issue. But the laptop would still shutdown instead of sleeping. There are tutorials on YouTube.) Windows 10 Home version 1803 installed rapidly on the SSD, and Windows updates then installed just as they should. (There are five P0 screws to remove from the bottom plastic case, one under the peel-back label, two under the rear feet. So, I bought a SanDisk internal 2.5" solid-state drive, and replaced the HGST drive with that. And the laptop would always shut down, instead of sleeping, when put to sleep, or even if its lid was closed. Ubuntu would also warn about impending drive failure on each startup, though. Yet I then installed Ubuntu 18 on the same hard drive, oddly far more quickly. (and I'm not alone in slow X102BA Windows installs.) I'd like to know why the hard drive is slow and warned about but not yet showing data loss or SMART errors. I have questions about the reliability of that drive model Z5K500-320. Windows 10 Home version 1803 later refused to install on that drive at all. When Windows takes over two days to install, there might be a drive issue - though, no SMART errors were reported on the 320 GB 5400 rpm HGST drive, which probably doesn't support SMART. The laptop was very slow, and getting slower. The December 2017 version of Windows 10 Home warned about a disk partition that was soon to fail, but did let me install Windows on it. In trying to fix that, I found myself reinstalling the Windows operating system a couple of times. 800 MHz Intel? The AMD A4-1200 has sub-Atom performance, anyway.)īut Windows updates were failing with odd status errors. (But, with an AMD processor, 1 GHz is more like. (A lower angle and rear support are needed.) The laptop didn't get that much use, even after I put a 32 GB flash card in its SD slot for ReadyBoost to speed things up.Ī couple of years later, my F102BA had been upgraded to Windows 10 Home for free, as it just met the operating system's minimum threshold of 1 GHz processor speed. The touchscreen was not easy to use the Windows interface simply doesn't handle touch well, and Apple is right about touch not being workable for an upright hinged screen. The 64-bit AMD A4 processor was fairly slow, the hard drive even slower. I soon learned that Windows 8.1 was painful to use, and even had to use regedit to get the Windows Store to work. Not much speed and a slightly cramped keyboard, but at a good price. No Bluetooth on my machine, but that's no great loss. My F102BA had some promise as a netbook: 4GB RAM, which is a useful minimum for Windows these days, a full touchscreen which could be used to experiment with Windows 8, and a decent number of ports. Their bigger, faster, brother is the X200CA/ F200CA.) ![]() (The X102BA is also known as the F102BA X has 2 GB memory, F has 4 GB. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to get back in touch with us.In April 2014 I bought an ASUS X102BA laptop cheaply from the Dick Smith store, back before that retail chain went out of business and was bought by Kogan. Please be aware that Reset will erase all the other partition and your personal data, Refresh will only reset the Windows partition but it will delete and erase some programs and applications. To reset the operating system, you need to first shut down the device, then when its booting up to repeatedly press the F9 key, this should take you to a menu where you can select Troubleshoot, and from here you should get a menu where you can select Reset or Resfresh of teh operating sytem. Should the issue persist, then what I can recommend is that you do a reset of the operating system. You can find the drivers and utilities for your device at this link: And after the driver updates to check if the issue persists. First to update the Chipset driver, then to install the Intel Management Engine Interface which can be found in the Others section, then to update the ATK driver. In this case what I can recommend is that you make an update of the following driver. Im sorry to hear that you are having this issue. Concerning your message about the G551JW: ![]()
