    I have had an F3 series F3J for a few months now and have the following problems:

    Touchpad - vertical scrolling doesn't work sporadically in ie or firefox. latest drivers.

    Mic jack - external mic jack doesn't work sporidcally until i reboot.

    network card - anytime i disable it, and want to enable it, i have to reinstall the original drivers because the "connection fails". Latest drivers as well.

    Please help if you can. Thanks!

    Touchpad: maybe enlarging the scroll zone in the Synaptics driver options will help?

    Mic: did you try reinstalling/updating the audio drivers?

    Network card: what do you mean disabled? Is it the wireless card, and if so do you mean turning it off?

    No, enlarging is irrelevant as it completely stops working for a short period of time, and then will just start working on its own again.

    With the Mic - i don't think i have tried the drivers, but will give it a shot.

    Network card - it's the ethernet adapter... i mean when you go to network connections, if i disable, i can never re-enable without reinstalling the drivers.

    I don't have a solution to the last problem, but why is it necessary to disable it? I think power consumption is minimal. Is it for other reasons?

    The touchpad thing looks like a driver bug, maybe try an older version driver if you're running the latest... or maybe try Synaptics generic drivers, if they provide them on the website.
