what are the light up icons on my Asus k52 model laptop?

Question

you know the icons right underneath the mouse touch pad that have a little green light and glow? well i just bought this laptop so im unfamiliar with the icons (like which means the laptops plugged in, etc) so if you could give me the link to something that shows what they are, or list the icons left to right (if you know them), that would be helpful.

thanks.

and happy holidays.

Answer 1

I'm not positive about the far left one but it might be sound or headphone is plugged in.

Then, from left to right

battery charging

hard drive being accessed

wi fi

number lock

caps lock

Answer 2

To solve the problems relative to sound, follow this (only for ubuntu maverick 64bit).



1) You need ubuntu kernel 2.6.35-23 or higher. Open Synaptic and update the kernel in case you are using 2.6.35-22.



2) Run this command on the terminal:



echo "options snd-hda-intel model=hp-laptop" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf



3) Download the attached file from post #164 (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...&postcount=164). Extract the file "snd-hda-codec-conexant.ko" and copy it to this folder:



/lib/modules/2.6.35-23-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda



You will have to overwrite the original file (and will need root permissions).



4) Reboot.





- To solve the webcam upside down problem, run this on a terminal:



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libv4l/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade





- To solve the suspend and wireless-led problem, check the following solutions for Ubuntu Lucid 10.04. Alternatively, you can install a package I created which includes the fixes for suspend, wireless led and calculator button. See the attached file. It was created for maverick 64.

I don't know what the ASUS ones look like, but on my laptop (Toshiba) I have a power cord icon, telling me it's in, a power icon telling me it's on (duh!) but it glows red on standby, a battery icon, letting me know I'm good and a little icon that I think means that the harddrive is being used...also one that looks like a page...don't know that one
