    I recently recieved my G1S from gentech and i love it, its great, but what i cant figure out is why the G1S has 2 power buttons; one on the top right and another one by the hotkeys with a little light. Didn't think they were different, but this morning when i had turned on my comp by the main power button on the top right and then put it to sleep. When i next turned it on i decided to try it with the power button by the hotkeys. It gave me an error saying the hibernation data was different and to press enter to delete it and to restart the comp or to close the comp and start it with the other button.. Just curious is all nothing's actually wrong with the computer.

    One is the true power button, the other, I assume it's the Hibernation button, which was why it gave you that error.

    I always thought the uper one was the true power button and the lower one(with the media keys) what to turn on WMC.
