    Well my story is that I just bought this m5500 on ebay, and it wasnt loaded right. So I formatted it and tried to use the drivers found on the AW site. Some worked but some didnt. I need the wifi drivers, the video card drivers and the display adapter drivers. And pretty much any kinda "how-to" files you can find. I can't really find too much info on this laptop as far as how to take it apart and all that other fun stuff.
    This also has a keyboard which is capable to light up, however I've yet to get that working. So anything you can provide will help me immensely.

    Well since it's bumped, maybe add in the M17x R2 guides, Linux guides, and the M11x guides to the original post.
