    Asus N61JQ Instant Keys Problem

    The instant keys on my Asus N61JQ-JX001 (like the Volume Control and Power4Gear Plan Changer) sometimes stop working after a while. They do work initially being booted up.

    I noticed they stop after the laptop wakes up from a sleep, but sometimes they stop working out of the blue too.

    Is there a key I am pressing to disable them or do I need to update some drivers? Some insight from someone who knows more than me would be good.

    Thanks for any help

    Thanks,
    I tried downloading it a few times, but the file doesn't seem to be able to open (invalid zip).
    Are there any alternative mirrors?

    I tried it right now. I could download it without any problems.

    I uploaded it to a mirror. :)
    Here is the link to ATK Package v1.0.0002:

    Could unzip it fine this time, thanks. :)

    It didn't seem to fix the problem though - slept it then woke it up just as the power indidicator indicated it was sleeping and the instant keys still refuse to be used :(

    EDIT: It appeared to have fixed my touchpad though, so that's one less thing to worry about it.

    Well I don't know what else could be the problem. :confused:
    On my M50Vn all the instant keys work fine.
    I would test it on N71Jq when I receive it. :)
