    First of all i want to say hello to everyone.

    I bought the laptop from BB 2 weeks ago and i noticed something very strange.
    When i turn off the PC express gate touch button is still on and when i leave it for about 24 hours it drains my battery about 10%.
    And question is can i somehow turn express gate off or there is another solution to this problem?
    Please help.
    P.S. I saw this issue in other threads but i found no answer.

    I have the g50v-a1 version and there is a little sticker above the express gate button saying "Always On for Instant Launch". So if there is power to the laptop this button will always be on.
