    The light buttons on the upper right corner of the laptop to eject the cd, play music, volume, disable or enable wireless, command center and such.

    Is there any way to configure/change the actions they perform?

    I think there was a thread that instruct to change the CC button's doing by fiddling with the registry . I had assosiated with the turn off the LCD program ( one thing that the keyboard function lacks :( )

    Hmm.... I never thought you could do that. I might try a couple of things. Thanks for the link.
