    I just got my dv5t today. Everything works great but the quick launch button - the red mute light refuses to turn white when I tried to change it. It remains red but the function works as normal - the volume icon on the screen changes.

    Does anyone here have similiar problem and know how to solve it? Thanks!

    This happened to me too after doing a clean install, it happened everytime I turned my laptop on and stayed red the whole time. Recently it stopped, I'm not sure what fixed it though so I'm sorry I cannot give you a solution. Some of the things I did was reinstall vista's SP1 and download every window's update.

    I wish I could give you a definite solution, the laptop looks way nicer with the white lights.
