    What if the stealth mode doesn't work?

    I recently got my new m15x. (not the brand new one) and I wonder sometimes when I touched the stealth mode, there wasn't any response. Are there any ways to manually control the stealth mode?

    Thank.

    Are you having any other issues regarding the other touch buttons? When I originally had the M15x, when my stealth did not work, I had to reboot and then the buttons worked (primary stealth mode). There have been some known issues with the touchpanel. You can find some more on the issue here....

    Hopefully you are not having a problem with the touchpanel only with stealth mode. If that is the case, give tech a call, because stealth mode on the original M15x can be a bit problematic sometimes. Hope this helps. :D

    Also pushing down on the touch areas when the computer is off helps with sensitivity problems.
    Every once in a while my stealth mode will be still half on (CPU wont go to full clock), I just restart and it is back to normal. Kinda annoying when you load a game and you wonder why you are getting crappy FPS.
