    Just completed a fresh install of Windows 7 on my GT70. I am missing the KLM (Keyboard LED Manager) and Super-Charger. They weren't included on the MSi drivers disc. I cannot seem to find them on the MSi site. Anyone point me in the direction to download these?
    Thanks

    That then is not for the laptop itself? I thought SC sped up charging the laptop's battery.

    No, it's just for attached devices, the battery charges as fast as is safe.

    Super-charger allows the USB ports that are designed to deliver more than 0.5A @ 5V to supply up to 1.5A @ 5V IIRC allowing those devices to charge like a plug in wall adapter.

    Right-o. Any USB port can be used for Super-Charger (USB 2.0 and USB 3.0). Boards with a red USB header can also charge mobile devices while the system is off/sleep/hibernation through this header.

    MSI Product Spec.

    The USB port supports a maximum draw of 1500Mh. A phone may or may not draw that much
