    Hello everyone...

    I purchased my G51jX today at CanadaComputers. This is my 1st laptop and this ones hugely expensive. I'm testing it out today and I've already found 2 problems.

    The 1st problem is the keyboard keys, so far from testing, the letters "y" amd "u" occasionally stop working. Sometimes they'll start working again in a few seconds, sometimes it'll take several minutes. My dad says it might be "fn" or some other key that could be interrupting it, somehow i have my doubts. I really don't like this uncertainty and unreliability, it'll be hard to explain to the sales rep at CanadaComputers.

    The 2nd problem is the camera doesn't even seem to work. I tried running "Asus Virtual Camera" but nothing happens. I try searching for the camera under "Scanners and Cameras" and the camera isn't even liste. Tried refreshing, nothing. I've yet to use the CD "Driver&utility ver 1.0" that the laptop came with. I'm going to try tha next to see if it fixes the camera, I don't really know what it does, I assume the camera should already be working w/o any updating.

    I'll update soon. Really depressed about this, was so happy to get this laptop. Thanks for your time.
