    Hi, I have been experienceing a problem with my m17x. At first I was having issues with the colors of the lights, similar to

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=304121

    This problem only affected the color of the quick touch controlls and the powerbutton. After a while though the problem started to affect the touchpad light and the alienhead. They would just flicker from the color they were supposed to be to another color and then back again. They seemed to do at at the same time.

    After making some changes to my system (install updates from microsoft). I restarted by computer to find that all the other lights are behaving correctly now. But the quick touch controlls and the powerbutton don't light up at all :(

    I have tried installing the latest version of command center but this did not make a difference.

    Has anyone else experienced this problem or know how to fix it?
