    so simply as the title says my media keys now no longer work. tried clicking on all the applications in the OSD folder. and I downloaded it again, installed then restarted nothing worked. the only button on this bar that works is the wifi one for some strange reason, weird how the rest just suddenly became un responsive any other fixes or things I might be able to do? also seeing as I want to keep this thing lasting while I save for something new should I get the 1 or 2 year warranty? cheers!

    It would be a good idea if you can still extend it further. If you are in warranty now send me your service tag on a PM so I can send a tech to replace the media bar.
