    I noticed that I can turn on the machine with the twinturbo button.
    Is it normal? or something wrong with that? because I find it very wired.

    Very Very wrong but considering the TT button is completely utterly useless I wouldn't worry and don't bother using it just in case ;) sounds like bad wiring to me.

    P.s Love the "because I find it very little wired" good one.

    Thanks for the reply dude! :)
    If bad wiring is the cause, should I disassemble the front keyboard console and check it out??
    I just want everything to work as should be :p

    it might be a short somewhere, if I remember correctly, the left group buttons (3) is on it's own flex strip, maybe it's mis-align.

    but it should have powered on the laptop unless maybe some hardware failure. What does the other buttons do?

    Yeah as above could quite easily be a short and if you are worried and wanna be safe you can just disconnect that blue ribbon/strip under the keyboard its the top one here I have marked it for ya put some sticky tape over the end of it once you remove it and forget they even exist.

    If I remember rightly one is the Twin Turbo slow your computer down button, one is to change the colour settings which you can do on the comp anyway and the last one....A butt scratcher??

    Looking at mine and certainly it doesn't scratch my butt. But cycles between the LEDs. Turning them all on, all off, a few on and off.
