    I've just bought AW 14 since my m15x was robbed.
    Do you have any idea how to keep the touch pad lights ON all the time?
    I like the touch pad light :D

    Thx

    Yeah, that dynamic behavior really sucks. I hate having the touchpad light turning itself off, too. I mean, if I wanted it turned off then I would simply turn it off, LOL. What's the point of having it turned on if it is going to turn itself off?

    Press F2 at POST, enter the BIOS and find the setting. It is probably set to "Auto" so change it to "On" then press F10 to save and exit, then you should be good to go.

    sorry to hear about the m15x. Did you have insurance?
    I'm glad you got the touchpad issue sorted out. :p
