Kuler Community Guidelines

Hi everyone,
The Kuler team has drafted a set of guidelines for the community. These guidelines are intended to ensure the Kuler community experience is enjoyable and safe for everybody. We'd love to hear what you think.
Kuler Community Guidelines
The following Community Guidelines are here to ensure the community experience on Kuler is enjoyable, inspiring, and safe for all users. By using Kuler, you are also subject to our Terms of Use.
What to do
Do share your color inspiration. Kuler is a great way to capture and share inspiring colors.
Do have sincere and meaningful interactions with other members.
Do provide feedback and helpful advice.
Do show respect and kindness to members of the community. All of our members want to be treated with respect and kindness.
Do play an active role in the community. When you see a great color theme, give it a “favorite” or add a comment to share your thoughts. If you see abuse, report it.
What not to do
Don’t be mean or obscene. Because kids as young as 13 participate in Kuler, sexually explicit and vulgar language is not welcome. We also won’t tolerate content that is belligerent, insulting, abusive or otherwise objectionable.
Don’t attack, harass, or impersonate other members.
Don’t post content that is illegal or having malicious intent.
Don’t vent your frustrations, rant about off-topic issues, or use hate speech.
Don’t spam. We consider spam to be repetitive posts, duplicate or misleading information, and manipulative comments—which are designed to promote oneself or one’s business interest.
Don’t copy other members color themes in entirety and claim them as your own creation.
We enforce these guidelines
All over the Kuler website you will see ‘Report a Concern’ links. These links allow you to notify us anytime you see content that falls outside of our Community Guidelines or Terms of Use. This helps you look after the community too. We take abuse reports very seriously and our team reviews them on a daily basis.

Lack of clarity in community guidelines

As I was going through the language learning section, I noticed that a moderator had edited out the skype name in someone's post, but not the blaringly obvious gender specific contact and the request for a relationship. I then went and checked the community guidelines, but they are unclear on this subject. Is it no longer against the rules to post these things? Thanks.

Hi welshydragon,
The Openreach Superfast Fibre Broadband rollout is still in it's early stages and the plans are always being added too.
So your exchange may be added to the rollout plans later in the future.
The build of the fibre broadband infrastructure isn't always easy and can be very complex, so needs a lot of planning to start with and can take some time. Go to http://superfast-openreach.co.uk/the-big-build/ for information on the build.
You can register your interest for Fibre Broadband such as BT Infinity by going to http://www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/expression-gen.aspx
Unfortunately BT Retail (a communication provider/ISP who operates this forum) does not have much say as to when and if you will be able to get FTTC or FTTP/H based broadband such as BT Infinity.
I also take it from your username that you live in Wales. If this is correct then see below.
If you live in Wales, then the Welsh Government has recently started to plan the development of Superfast Fibre broadband in Wales.
You may want to have a look at The Welsh Government Next Generation Broadband Wales Scheme-(Click Here To View) and Here
Also the http://superfast-cymru.com website has only just become online and will give information about the Openreach Superfast Fibre broadband rollout in Wales.
**The Fibre-Optic Broadband Rollout is being managed and done by Openreach for all communication providers/ISPs.
BT Retail (a communication provider/ISP) has nothing to do with the rollout of fibre broadband.**
Hope that helps,
Cheers

Guidance on reporting community guideline violatio...

As a frequent visitor to the Language Learning Section of the community, I note that a substantial number of the postings violate one of more of the Skype Community Guidel;ines: posting Skype I.D.s, friend's requests, thinly disguised ads for paid lessons, specific ethnic requests, age postings and so on.
For reference, I have quoted section 9 of the Guidelines below:
9. We need your help
If you notice users breaching guidelines, give them guidance. If you see specific cases of abuse, rudeness or other violations of these guidelines, feel free to bring it to the attention of a moderator through “Report Inappropriate Content“. You can find that option in the “Options” dropdown menu next to any message.
I take the reference to "guidance" to mean that you are inviting community members to (politely) point out to transgressors the error of their ways--on the assumption that they are not already aware of it. Please clarify.

Yes. Please use the "Report inappropriate" functionality to flag any messages for review through the moderation team that you think are in violation of the Community Guidelines. Thanks in advance for your help.

Who runs this community?

I post a questions, the first reply start off with "You are wasting your time" and clearly does NOT answer my questions. I reply to that saying I have higher expectations for Apple than other cheaper products.
My post gets deleted for not meeting community guidelines, and the above post which INSULTED my initial question, is marked as 'Answered my question'
So my question for this post is - who runs this? Apple or some volunteers? Marking a post as 'Solved Problem' on my behalf that tells me "You are wasting your time" is not usefull!
At this point I'd like to delete the original posit since clearly "I'm wasting my time" on here.
Sheesh!

"You are wasting your time" and clearly does NOT answer my questions.
Actually, it does answer your question. Maybe not all that politely, but it is correct. Like virtually any other such device (iPad, Blackberry, Samsung), Apple does not make their own batteries. They get them from the same very few suppliers as everyone else. And like all such "performance" claims by manufacturers, they are based on absolute best circumstances and use. Typical use will not yield those results.
who runs this? Apple or some volunteers?
Apple owns and operates these boards. Other users handle almost 100% of the questions. Rarely will you see an Apple employee posting an answer. Of those, it is almost always one of the hosts explaining something related to the use of these boards, not an answer to a technical question.
Marking a post as 'Solved Problem' on my behalf that tells me "You are wasting your time" is not useful!
Well, only you can do that. No one else, not even the hosts can in any way mark a post Solved or Helpful. Only the person who started a topic can. So in the case of the only other topic under your name, you awarded the Solved and Helpful points. Therefore, your claim of someone else doing so "on your behalf" isn't possible.

Introducing the Skype Community

Welcome to the Skype Community
After being in the air since early 2004 as Skype's Forum, since April 2008 as Skype's Community and now as the Skype Community it is about time to introduce the people with badges and those without who you see posting regularly. But first a little explanation of what this community does.
The Skype Community is a place where Skype users can go for their Skype related question which they can discuss with other users. It can be any question from “How do I answer a Skype Call” to more technical ones. The purpose of this is to unite users in their Skype interests, to give users a chance to help others where they have a bigger knowledge and / or experience with Skype.
Every day thousands of users sign on to Skype for the very first time. Although there is a comprehensive, ever growing Knowledgebase there will be questions left which can be discussed in the Skype Community with users who have a huge experience in using Skype as their communication tool.
The variety of users browsing and replying to topics is enormous. From private users who only use Skype to keep in touch with friends and loved ones to Business users and beta testers. Especially beta testers are valuable. They seem to be born (or programmed over time ) to find and report bugs to help them getting resolved.
Other experienced users are those with a Community Amassador and Moderator badges and then the Skype Staff with the Skype logo next to their name. Next to the Skype related areas we also have a more casual and relaxed area called “Skype Lounge” where you are invited to talk about every day’s life, hobbies and interests and where you can chat with likeminded users who might even become good friends!
So, who is who in this Skype Community?
I start with the valuable user. Every user logged on for the very first time and most likely to find help. No doubt the user came to the right place because help is available here in large quantities. Because the Moderators monitor all topics, active users become visible and not seldom we agree that by the consistent help given, such a user deserves the Community Ambassador badge. This is a little award for life and will always express our appreciation. Our Community Ambassadors are involved in a Skype group chat with Moderators for questions, discussions and help. They are not left on their own but have our and each other's full support.
Sometimes Community Ambassadors are asked to join the Moderator team. Moderators receive the tools to moderate (work with) the community. This means they can edit, move and if necessary, delete posts (like spam). They guide users, advise them to submit a Support Ticket when necessary and help them to maintain the Community Guidelines. They also reply to posts.
Because the Skype Community is not an official support channel like Skype Customer Service Ticket System (who would like to see their account / payment details exposed on a public forum? The ticket system guarantees total privacy) Moderators can help the users who, for what ever reason, did not receive the right help via tickets. The preferable help tool is public posts so others with similar issues can find a solution. More private information is exchanged via PM (Private Message).
Moderators signed an NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) with Skype and have access to Skype staff to report and discuss specific problems. This way you are in safe hands.
Both Community Ambassadors and Moderators are although experienced Skype users, people like you and me. Some have full time jobs, others part time or are retired. All have in common that they like to use Skype, like to help out and are volunteers. They are present in the Skype Community in their spare time. Therefore some can spend more time helping out than others. They are located in different parts of the world, speak different languages. This way they cover 24 hours. Moderators participate in a group chat with the Admins to discuss what is going on in the community, support each other and get help when necessary.
Our admins are staff members. They handle the more advanced community tools. Together they are responsible for the whole community. The main community administration is done by yours truly as Community Manager. One of my pleasant tasks is to weekly report to my colleagues to keep them updated about what is going on in the Skype Community: what keeps users busy, their feature requests, problems and positive feedback for all platforms, subscriptions, payments and about all soft- and hardware.
We do not just operate in the background. We participate actively by reading and posting. We feel a huge responsibility for users, Community Ambassadors and Moderators for whom we also feel a great respect and pride.
Non Admin Staff members work behind the scenes and in any department within Skype. Their main goal is to improve Skype for the users. Not to maintain or develop the Skype Community. They are real and very nice people who do not hesitate to post in the Skype Community where a reply from staff is appreciated.
Not seldom community members grow from User, to Community Ambassadors, to Moderator/Beta Tester to Staff Member. (Maybe here is a little career for you )
I hope that above helps you to understand the Skype Community and to value the special and dedicated help of the volunteers. They deserve a thumbs up

If you wish to have a post edited or removed because you have posted personal information, please be advised that the Skype Community Guidelines state:
"6. No Post Deletion
Please be conscious of what you post in the community and consider that it will be stored permanently for public display. We only remove posts that violate our Community Guidelines. We don't remove or edit posts simply because you 'change your mind', so please consider carefully whether or not you are happy with your post being displayed publicly indefinitely."
As mentioned in the guideline, an exception to the "No Post Deletion" rule can be made if you have, either intentionally or accidentally, violated a Community Guideline in your post.
The Community Guidelines also state:
"7. Personal Information
Please keep in mind that this community is accessible by the public and providing personal information is prohibited. Never post or share with other community members your [or anyone else's]: full name, username, age, date of birth, password, email/physical address, phone number, order number, credit card number and any other private information [this includes your Skype ID]."
So, if your post contains personal information, and you wish to have it removed, then you may notify the moderation team by clicking on the "Options" menu at the top right of your post and selecting "Report Inappropriate Content". When reporting your post, please include a message explaining that you have violated the Community Guidelines by posting your personal information, and that you would like to have that information removed.
We hope that you will all continue to make safe and appropriate contributions to the Skype Community!

Unofficial Forum Rules and Guidelines

I realize there is an official Community Guidelines thread, but I feel it should cover more topics than it does. So here is my attempt to have a thread I can point new users to, if they are unsure how forum etiquette works.
Before Posting a Question
Many posts have been made on the forums over the years and many topics have been covered. You are likely not the first person to attempt something, or having difficulty. Search the forums first for the question you would like to ask. NI's forum search works well but feel free to use Google to search the forums. Try searching with alternate terms, like "System Tray" instead of "Icon Tray".
Posting a Question
When posting a question you should first follow the guidelines linked earlier. In addition to those points I'd like to mention a few more:
Not everyone on the forums speaks English. If English is not your native language feel free to post questions in your first language, but be aware that there are several non-English speaking sub-forums. If you post a non-English question in the English forum, you may or may not get people who speak your language. Stick to forum for that language to ensure you get the help you need.
Post in the right sub-forum. Language is the first sub-forum to consider, but topic is another. If you are asking a question about LabVIEW exams, it is better to post in the Certification board, rather than the LabVIEW board. If you posted in the wrong forum ask a moderator to move it to the appropriate section.
Have a useful title. The title of your question should never be "labview" for "fpga". Your title should also not be a paragraph. It should be a quick summary of the topics your post is going to discuss.
Do not use caps lock unless you are really yelling. It would be rude for me to ask a question by yelling and the same goes for the forums. This goes for the title and the post.
Do not beg for help using words like URGENT, or LIFE AND DEATH. This is again rude, we are largely volunteers that like to help, but not when we are being yelled at.
Use words not letters "NEED hlp Plz R U labview xpert?" Use full English sentences. If you have trouble with this please refer back to speaking in your native language, or go back and take English class.
There is rarely a need to change the font size, color or style from the default settings. You are wasting your time, and likely making your post harder to read. Stick with the default font styles.
Try giving as much information about the conditions of your question. Things like: What version of LabVIEW are you using? What operating system are you using? What hardware are you using? and What sensors are you using? are a few common ones.
If you want to ask the same question on another LabVIEW board like LAVA, feel free to do so. One thing that helps collaborate efforts is to provide a link in your post back to the other place where the question was asked. This way someone on the NI forums can see what has already been said on another forum.
When posting code post the actual code not a screenshot. You wouldn't take a screenshot of a text file and post it on a text language forum. Upload the actual VI, or zip several files and upload the zip. The exception to this rule is when uploading a VI Snippet. This is an image with the VI embedded in it, so the source is still intact.
When you don't get the help you want
If you posted a question and didn't get any response, or didn't understand the responses you got, do not make a new thread on the same topic. Doing this will fragment the conversation and you will have two groups of people working on the same problem.
Don't simply BUMP a thread with a new post without more information. This is a sign that you don't want to put in any effort and are simply nagging others to help you. If a thread goes dry and you want more help, try getting more information on the subject, or try something and reply to the thread with this new information. This shows you are willing to work towards your goal, and aren't just looking for others to do your work for you.
When you get the help you want
Volunteers put in effort to help you and they want to know they are appreciated. The forums have several ways to say "Thank You" to those that have helped. Here are the preferred methods.
Kudos
You can thanks a person on the forum by giving them a Kudo. A user on the forums can Kudo a post by another user once, but multiple users can Kudo the same post which can highlight posts that a collection of users find useful.
Here is a thread discussion when users choose to give Kudos.
Marking Solutions
Any reply to a post can be marked as a solution to the post, if the sub-forum supports marking solutions. This is helpful because the thread will get a green check mark showing a solution to the question has been found. Threads can have multiple posts marked as a solution, but it is best to limit the number of posts that are the solution. Mark the posts that answer the question, not just helpful posts. A helpful post can be Kudo'd, but doesn't need to be marked as a solution.
Things Not To Do
Do not send private messages to a user asking a question. Forums exist so we can work to solve a problem as a group. Contacting someone privately causes that to not work.
Do not post personal information. This includes Email, or phone contact information. Spam bots crawl forums like this looking for your information. This also means don't make your user name an email address.
Do not have huge signatures. They waste space on the forum and can clutter the conversation. Signatures are okay, but large ones are discouraged.
Do not post homework assignments. We are not going to do your homework for you. You are welcome to ask specific questions about things you don't understand. But don't post your homework and expect someone to do it for you. You won't learn this way.
Do not resurrect old threads that have nothing to do with the new question. A post from 2002 about how to setup a DAQ task will likely not be related to your question about reading a serial port. Make a new thread asking your new question.
Looking For Free Training
Many times new users of NI hardware or software just don't know where to start. They will ask a question but without knowing the terms, or the intended purpose, they will not be able to form a proper question. Here are some free training tools primarily focused on LabVIEW and NI hardware.

Unofficial Forum Rules and Guidelines - Hooovahh - LabVIEW Overlord
If 10 out of 10 experts in any field say something is bad, you should probably take their opinion seriously.

When attaching code:
Include all subVIs, typedefs, and global variables, etc.
Remove all passwords from password protected VIs.
Do NOT include anything from vi.lib or that is part of a standard LabVIEW installation.
Do NOT include libraries from commercial third party drivers unless you suspect them to be the cause of the problem.
If it is an entire project, zip everything up. (A "*.lvproj" file does NOT contain anything useful. All code referenced in the project needs to be included).
If you attach more than one VI, tell us the name of the toplevel VI.
Set all controls to typical values, then make them default before saving. Do not set indicators to new default values, especially e.g. graphs containing huge amounst of data.
Ideally, all we should need to do is open and run the VI to see the problem.
The default data should be typical and not biased in any way. If an input is a matrix, don't make it square or symmetric unless that is guranteed to always be the case.
Tell us how to demonstrate the bug (e.g. Run A, set control B to X, Indicator C is now Y while I expect it to be be Z instead, etc.). Include these instruction as diagram comment on the toplevel VI.
If the problems is with reading a file, include a sample file that demonstrates the problem.
If you run the newest LabVIEW version, you might want to downconvert to a lower version before attaching (file...save for previous...). This way there are more people that can potentially help. (Of course if the suspected bug depends on the version, you should attach the version that demonstrates the bug.)
If you make claims about speed or benchmarking:
Tell us what you consider fast or slow. "Seconds" could be fast for one problem while "microseconds" could be considered slow for another.
Include your benchmarking code.
Make sure the speed test is sound and not polluted by debugging settings. Keep the front panels of subVIs closed, watch for code running in parallel, and avoid front panel updates.
Make a distinction between slow code and slugginsh FP responsiveness.
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

Color Groups - Save/Export/Share without Kuler?

Why can't i just save a color group that i created in Illustrator CS5 and import it into another document?
Kuler only supports groups of up to 5 colors, and i don't think uploading a set of client-specific brand colors to the "Kuler Community" would do any good...
Maybe i have overlooked an obvious option, but i had hoped it would be as easy as saving custom brushes etc in Photoshop...
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Ok it is simple create a document and delete all the colors swatches and and any brushes, symbols and graphic styles that use color. or if you wish all of the above stuff and save it as something like RAW file to the location that Mordy's blog located for you.
Now make a new document using that profile from the New Document dialog.
Now select swatches from the libraries available form the flyout or library icon on the lower left of the Swatches Panel.
Or
Make your own swatches from the mixer or from Live Color and save them as a library (ase) or as an AI file to Swatches Panel in the preset Folder of Illustrator and give it your clients name.
Now make another document using the RAW File Profile you created before and then go to the swatches panel and from the flyout of from the swatch library icon on the panel select the Library with your clients name.
If this is confusing I will try and make a movie describing it.
I am trying to get them to add a feature so that when you make a color group you have an option to save it to this folder s well as with the document itself. I am hoping they will eventually add this to the Live Color feature would be a big help.
Now when yo

Kuler webbsite and Photoshop Elements 9 ?

Does anyone know if Kuler works with Photoshop Elements 9 ? I guess what I'm asking is, can I import palets from the webbsite "Kuler" into Photoshop Elements 9 ? I just bought elements 9 and still learning how to use it. I've got my fingers crossed, hoping I didn't make a mistake with this purchase !

Kuler panels are built into Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, In Design, Fireworks, and Flash Professional - all part of the CS5 software. You can download ASE files (Adobe Swatch Exchange) and import the swatches into the software. Unfortunately ASE files are not compatible with Elements.
But Adobe’s on-line app is free and there is a download for desktop.
You can create your own color swatches and save favorites and share them with the on-line Kuler community.
To use them in Elements you have to type the hexadecimal value into the color picker.

Updates to Kuler website

Kuler community,
We’ve made some exciting updates to the site today.
We’ve added a few new features and re-architected the site.
The first difference you probably noticed is our new website
loader. We slightly extended the initial load time so that we can
provide you with a faster experience on the site overall.
Here are highlights of some of the new updates to the
site…
New features:
- Share a Kuler URL: You can now easily copy and paste a URL
to a given theme right from your browser address bar. And even
kooler, you can share all of the themes you have created by
clicking on your avatar and copying the associated URL.
- Save-As: You can now save a copy of your own theme without
overriding the original. Just give it a new name and hit save.
- Better theme protection: Editing another person’s
theme now requires tangible changes (i.e. edit at least 3 colors)
before you can save it publicly. (Saving as private is always
permitted.)
Improvements:
- We’ve tweaked the ratings to now provide a more
accurate reflection of the vote average, while still taking the
number of votes into account. Some themes may have moved up or down
in the Highest rated list based on these changes.
- Increased performance in major areas of the website
As we rolled the updates out, there were some hiccups and the
site was down for some time today. Thank you for your patience.
Please keep us posted on any issues you may experience. And, let us
know what you think!
The Kuler Team

Sorry guys, but Kuler is not only behaving strangely, it's
also buggy.
Bugs I found:
1. Clicking "Sign in", it had pre-populated the username
field with my email address...which obviously didn't work when I
hit "Go". (And the second time I went to log in with my usual
username/password, it failed. Hmm)
2. The list of "highest rated" is now populated with every
top-rated color theme since the dawn of man (instead of from just
the last month). I'm not sure whose idea this was, but in my
opinion it has now lost its purpose. The point is to highlight
top-rated RECENT themes that deserve attention, no? (Otherwise make
a separate tab for top-rated themes from past months/archived.)
3. The typeface in use in the theme keywords and comment
fields is now more difficult to read, and the comments are being
improperly squeezed to 2/3 the width of the comment field space.
Also, the sentence height looks squashed in both.
4. Lastly, I had to create a ridiculous Kuler Forum Nickname
here (temporarily) because it wouldn't let me post using my normal
username--saying that it had "already been taken". Well, duh--it's
ME, and I'm logged in so it should know! (Interestingly, even
gibberish names were being rejected--I think there's a bug
somewhere in there.)
Glad to see that the tabbing between fields in the "Create
new theme" section was fixed.
Kuler is (was?) a great tool, but I'm seeing some loss of
focus here.
My 2 cents.

How to get help and help others on the Spotify Community!

So I thought I would make this informal, light-hearted post about how to help other and get help on the community :)
A Community is About Mutual Relations
This means that people help you, so that you help them. You share your newly gained knowledge, so others can benefit. You get help, and then you help others by replying to their topics.
It Always Pays to be Polite
People will want to help you more if you are polite, with no swearing or hate speech. We all get annoyed from time to time, and some get annoyed more than others. We understand that the product you're paying for isn't working, but screaming, shouting and swearing about it won't help. Be polite, and help will come.
Always Pack as Much Information in as Possible
Often I am trying to help others, and there is just not enough info posted for me to help them well. This slows down the support they can get, which makes them further annoyed. To solve this issue post as much info as you possibly can:
Any error messages
A description of what is happening
What have you tried to do to fix it
What happened when you tried to fix it
Oh, a screenshot always helps ;)
Don't Post Personal Info
Almost every day I have to report a post for containing an email address, telephone number and sometimes even the users home address. Apart from being against the community guidelines, this is rather stupid. These forums are public, and any person, bot, stalker or alien entity can see it. So just don't post them - it would save everyone's time ;)
Payment Issue? Don't come to us ;)
Payment issues cannot be dealt with on the community, unfortunately, as we don't have access to your Spotify account or details. You should use the Support Form to contact the customer services team, and they will get back to you (eventually).
Post in the correct section!
I am forever moving posts over to the correct sections. Please - post in the correct section to begin with. If you need help, post in the help forums, and post in the relevant help forum. You will get a quicker response if you post in the right section ;)
Post in the Correct Thread
Most common issues already have a thread, but people don't seem to be able to see them. If you have deleted a playlist post in the deleted playlist thread!
Make Sure you Accept a Solution!
I don't really like having to accept a solution for others, as I don't know for sure whether or not it was actually the solution, but the OP of the thread doesn't do it - so who is?
Give Kudos!
Kudos is like a pat on the back. Everyone gets a nice feeling when they gain a kudo. Please kudo regularly - they cost nothing and mean everything ;)
I think that's it...
If I have forgotten anything don't be afraid to send me a private message about it!

Hey! Welcome to the community :)
If you have 11,000 songs in a Spotify playlist (not as local files you own) you won't be able to mark them all to be available offline, since Spotify limits each device to 3,333 offline stored tracks due to licensing restrictions.

Hi kstrid ,
Welcome to Lenovo Community.
Just to add to Hoov's explanation:
Lenovo Community Forum is for members to post questions and receive help from volunteers and other Lenovo customers who may have had a similar question or may be able to answer your question.
Lenovo Community Knowledgebase is a resource composed of articles written by Lenovo Staff, Moderators, Gurus, and other volunteers such as Microsoft MVP's.

DVD/CD optical drive is recognized only occasionally and temporarily

Hi, I recently bought an ASUS Essentio desktop model CG8350 running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. My DVD/CD optical drive is not consistently being recognized. I've made few changes to the computer and have even tried reinstalling Windows (system recovery, factory settings), but no luck. The curious thing is that after booting up I can occasionally temporarily see the D:\ optical drive listed under My Computer or under Device Manager, but after a few seconds or about a minute after restarting or trying to read a disk, this disappears and the optical drive is no longer shown. I would take it back to Best Buy I bought it for repair, but unfortunately that was in the U.S. and I've since moved to Canada. It's frustrating that Best Buy Canada won't honor service warranties for items bought from Best Buy U.S. If there's something I can try in order to avoid shipping it off to ASUS or back to Best Buy U.S. (at my expense, and potential loss of PC for a few weeks), I would much prefer that. These are the things I have tried so far: 1) opening it up and checking/re-plugging the power cable to the optical drive and the data cable between the optical drive and motherboard. All cables seemed fine. The drive ejects and spins a little bit when a disk is inserted, but neither a blank CD/DVD nor a commercial CD are recognised after insertion. 2) looking at the registry to try the "delete UpperFilters" and "delete LowerFilters" trick that I've seen posted several times. Since the computer had Windows 7 from the start (was not upgraded), these entries were not visible under the suggested registry subkey. 3) under boot options, I've selected "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" and have booted up. The optical drive showed up under My Computer and/or Device Manager for a few seconds or a minute, but then vanished. 4) disabled integrity checks: I've pasted "bcdedit /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS" into the Run window. After restarting, the optical drive is again occasionally visible, but only for a short period after which it disappears. 5) following a tip on one website, I tried shutting off and unplugging the data cable between optical drive & motherboard, restarting the computer so Windows could "see" there was actually no optical drive connected, then shutting off and connecting the data cable again and restarting. no luck. 6) I've run the Microsoft Support Fixit executable under "Your CD or DVD drive can't read or write media". The first time I ran this, it ran for about 5-10 minutes, but didn't diagnose a problem. The second time I tried to run it (after the Windows 7 re-install), is said my CD/DVD drive was not detected, so didn't run. 7) I've tried built-in Windows diagnostics and ASUS diagnostics, but they didn't help much. 8) I've updated ny BIOS to the most recent version. I've now run out of ideas and can't find any other suggestions on previous troubleshooting searches. The observation of the drive occasionally being seen for a few seconds/minute after start-up before disappearing seems like it might be a good clue, but I'm not sure how to interpret this. I did get it to play an audio CD a couple hours ago, but after trying to use my drive for something else after that, it's right back into the situation of not being consistently recognized, except sometimes immediately after booting up and then only for a short period. Any help or suggestions you have will be very very welcome -- thank you.

Honestly since it was recalled due to the sandy bridge recall anyways, it is going to have to go to asus eventually so I would just have them fix both in one shot. The Canada and U.S. support number is the same and I'm sure they could fix both issues at once to save you time: 1-866-625-9873
