    hello, i purchased a Asus G73JH-B1 on my local kijiji. and the person wiped the whole laptop.
    There are three buttons on the top left corner, one is for lights, one is for overlcock(boost pc) and other is for gamma i think.
    How do I get the Overclock button to work? I have power4gear hybrd installed but when I press the button, nothing happens. I enabled Turbo in the Bios under Asus Overclock. Thanks
    How can I get it working?

    Did you download ALL the required driver?

    What does the button look like? (sorry, not a G73 owner), it might be that the P4G is the "turbo"

    i installed the Akaitap or whatever driver, but what other drivers do I need?
    and the button is a smal square with a rpm meter on it, the dial points to the end of the meter showing that its on like turbo.
    when I press it nothing happens?

    that button makes no sense , because i7 already has turbo boost .
    for what I can remember you should install atk driver package or something.

    I believe that the button you are referring to is the Power 4 Gear high performance mode. It is simply a usage profile, it does not overclock anything.
