Well, I installed Windows 7 on the machine and the same keys that don't |
| 10 |
work with Gentoo now also didn't work with Windows. So it looks to be a |
| 11 |
hardware issue. But it's really weird.. physically I see nothing wrong |
| 12 |
with the keys. ThinkAdvantage button still works during POST but not |
| 13 |
when an OS is running. The Fn keys no longer work nor do the |
| 14 |
volume/mute keys. But the play/pause buttons do. |

I guess I'll be taking it to get repaired. |
