    Hey guys.

    The stupid touch buttons on my laptop have stopped responding - how do I exit stealth mode without them? (I've restarted many times).

    Thanks,
    Ian

    Try to run installation of the OSD application again (you can download it from the dell support site if not already on your computer, uninstalls/re-installs application and service, works for me).

    I could only find the file for m17xR2 - does anyone have the link for R1?

    Is this really the only way? Can I do it in the bios or something?ff
