    It works when I first turn on the laptop but after 15 minutes it does not respond.

    Could be a problem with the software, have u tried reinstall the software for the buttons? Also go back a software version and see if u have the same problem.

    Have u contacted AW support, what did they say?

    i just got this problem today. My stealth mode button just stopped working entirely for some reason. every other button worked fine except the stealth mode. So I called Roswell and they were able to fix the problem quite fast. Roswell is so useful :D .

    In case anyone else has this problem or if Lethal Lottery still has this problem the solution to this problem that worked for me is just to update to Bios V41. The stealth mode button is actually more responsive than ever now :rolleyes: . Its really a shame how i started the Bios V41 is released thread but i updated my m15x :rolleyes: .
