    Think Lenovo fixed the Always On USB function on the Y500!

    Background: Keyboard goes crazy with "always on" usb function enabled in bios. Random characters/ spaces being inserted while typing, number pad becomes unusable.

    Today was the first time I've re-enabled this function since flashing to bios v2.02 and guess what? Seems everything is functioning properly. I have my Samsung Galaxy plugged into the port right now and as I am typing this, no issues at all! With the laptop off, the USB cycles a few times, on and off before settling on "on" but other than that, it seems to be working flawlessly. Pretty happy about it right now just thought I would share. :D

    Thanks for the update! Lenovo really needs to unlock their bios because it seems to have strange issues and of course the annoying whitelist.
