    Sorry to make a thread for this but I mentioned it somewhere else a while ago and didn't get any replies so I'm hoping dedicating a thread to it will yield some results! :)

    Anyway, you know the little remote control that comes with the m1330? You know, that thing that goes in the right side of your laptop?

    How do you use it if you reformatted your laptop? I don't see any drivers or apps for it on the website or resource CD.

    Anybody know?

    Does the battery just kind of pop out until you stick the cover on? + side up? I can't really think of what I'm doing wrong here. No keys do anything.

    I have quickset.

    Edit: Well this is weird... I just took out the battery, looked at it, put it back in the same way, and now it works. Maybe something didn't click into place right.. I have no clue. Oh well.. problem solved. Thanks all.

    Still not sure how it actually operates.. it never worked without quickset but still didn't work with quickset so who knows. lol

    Yeah, the battery positioning is rather finicky.
