    Is the power button supposed to 'click'?

    Hi all,

    My Media Direct button gives a 'click' response feedback when I press it. However, my power button doesn't 'click' when I press the power button. Is this normal?

    This doesn't bother me so much, but it's nice to know when I've applied just enough pressure for the thing to force shutdown in my fury to get the machine working properly again :rolleyes:.

    I probably won't bother with the technician or getting it replaced unless other problems pop up.

    FYI: I didn't receive the notebook sleeve or any of the extra's. Oh well, I pretty much knew that when I repurchased. I should've kept the sleeve from the previous defected XPS before I sent it back :rolleyes:

    Ok, thanks. I find that kind of odd, but I guess that's normal.
