    I was trying to put back the odd drive and connect the cable
    I found the cable incredibly tricky to be put back properly
    that little clip thing was pain in the to handle
    I am not sure, I couldn't remember how deep the cable should be inserted into the dock
    I believe the little white strip on the yellow cable indicates something
    can anyone point it out? how deep is that connector supposed to be put in?

    by the way...weird things happened when I enabled optimus and started ubuntu
    the notebook keeps going into sleep(or something else, just noticed the screen turns off and the wireless stops)
    I was only able to get it on temporarily by closing the lid and open it again
    after a few moment, it went black again
    that's why I uninstalled ubuntu and had to bother with the odd for fixing mbr with windows dvd :(
