    I ordered my new M1710 on saturday, and while surfing the interweb today, I found this video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-858233356555386647

    Can the 1710 flash lights at the beat of music? Or does this guy have some sort of hack or something? That is the 1710 isn't it? Sorry if this has been posted already, I searched and didn't see anything about it. Thanks.

    Yes, that is very intriguing, to say the least. I thought it should even be possible for the lights to "sweep" through all the possible color combinations...I figure if you can change the colors manually through an app, something should be able to automatically do it! And to have them change to the beat of music is even more hip!

    I found ,what is probably the app the person used, available for free download at http://www.notebookforums.com/showthread.php?t=151270.

    It is a custom control panel that allows the LED's to have special affects based on audio, fans, or other things...I haven't tried it out yet, so download and use at your own risk!
