    Hey all,

    Got my G50VT refurbed, would like to know how to update the BIOS and regain use of my first 2 touch-sensitive buttons after having installed Win7 X64. After all my driver updates, the 3rd and 4th buttons work. But the first 2 just flicker. Also got most if not all of my FN buttons to work.

    Would like some links if possible.

    The first two are Direct Console and ExpressGate. Direct Console doesn't work correctly in Windows 7. There are some guides somewhere in this forum that explains how to get it to work. ExpressGate isn't support to do anything unless your computer is turned off.

    It's not a BIOS issue; It's the drivers. Also, the latest BIOS (213) for the G50VT is extremely buggy, and I would advise against using it. BIOS 210 is the best one IMO.

    Could you tell me how to update to it? I just get some file that's unexecutable when I download it.
