    I recently bought the gt725 and immediately installed windows 7 ultimate 64bit on it. I installed the latest SCM version, but the Turbo button doesn't seem to do anything. when i press the eco button it works and all the other touch button on the top work except the turbo button. any ideas?
    thanks

    Just as a quick note, make sure that it's plugged in. I noticed that it didn't work unless it was plugged in. If it was when you tried it, then I would try going to MSI's website and taking a look there for drivers or anything that you may need

    What we mean by plugged in is exactly what it sounds like. Make sure that your computer is plugged in by the power cord. The Eco button is not working at all? It doesn't change the screen brightness? If not, then I would contact MSI support. Turbo doesn't necessarily have to show up on screen in order for it to do anything. If you have a game that is quad-core compatible, I would test it using it without turbo, and then with turbo to see if you can tell a difference between the speed of the game. The eco button isn't really necessary as you can turn down brightness of the screen manually. Otherwise, it is nice to have touch buttons that work. Remember that Fn key of yours. Hope that helps!
