    Hi guys,

    Is there any way to disable the LED's on the touchpad, keybord and the led bar? Espescially the last one drives me crazy since it flickers when you play music.

    I have HotKey 8.0145 installed but only the Fn + F keys combinations work. I installed the newest Prema BIOS but it didn't help too.

    BTW, anyone also experiencing random graphic glitches while browsing the web?

    Open up the hot key utility there should be options in there.

    Yes, there are special hotkeys for disabling the LED activity.

    "Random graphics glitches" doesn't sound good. Have you uninstalled your current video driver and reinstalled the latest ones?

    That's the problem - the FN key + Numpad combinations do not work while the numpad itself seems to work just fine.

    This is all I get when I try to open the Hotkey control panel:

    Could be that Prema BIOS, or your EC firmware version. In any case, glad you have it sorted (despite the fix). :)

    Probably it's the Hotkey software itself that has conflicts with .NET Framework. It runs but only partially.
    The original BIOS/EC had that issue too.
