    Hi guys,

    I truly need some help here. I just got an alienware m11x r3. Everything seem running great except the power button of this laptop. If I press it lightly, it will click but sometime the system doesn't want to listen to me and only certain position of pressing will work. If I press it firmly instead of lightly then the system will listen 100%. So my question is: What is the problem? Is that power circuit problem? I highly doubt that because if it is then the system won't turn on at all or might not listen even if I press it firm. Could it be the power button of the hinge cover not go deep enough to contact with the power circuit.

    I need some help here to make me feel better about this problem

    Thank you

    Tuan
