    Hey guys two quick questions, First off for the G51, have you guys ever had any problems where when the laptop is completely powered down, and is cold, it wont start up again? Pressing power just makes a few of the lights flash and then it goes back off again, I have to disconnect power (Battery and AC) to be able to attempt to power on again. The only way it works again is by warming it up with something like a hairdryer then I don't have a single problem. It seems it is ok at normal room temp but after traveling or in a non heated area, it wont work.

    Now for the G72, not really a problem, but I ordered one for my mum off of Newegg (refurb) and it works like a champ, i'm just wondering with the indicator lights (keyboard lock keys and hdd) they are just blue blocks in the speaker grill area. You can't tell which one is being lit up while it's dark, but you can see the icons below them in the light. Is it supposed to be like that?

    Thanks,
    Matt
