    Power button doesn't seem to work on cold boots until after a few dozen presses or a few minutes have passed (whichever comes first). Seems a few other reviews have mentioned it. Anyone else have this problem and did you fix it or RMA/replace?

    Going to guess you bought it from newegg, AFAIK, they just RMA'd them back for a replacement. So that would be my suggestion to do as well.

    I had the power button problem, but now I think its fixed. The only thing i did was unplugging the touch pad. Does that work for you? :)
