    All the buttons on my sensor stripe work except the wireless on/off. (note: all button lights come on/off and OSD icon show) It worked when I first got the computer. First I thought it was the custom EC I used to swap Fn/Ctrl, but flashing it to the original one doesn't change anything either. Then I tried other OS besides Windows but pressing the wireless button produces no change regardless of OS. It's an annoyance because now it takes more time to toggle the wireless when I'm on the go. Any one know how to fix? Also, could it be my wireless card not wanting to obey the command?

    I would try re-seating the cable that connects that sendor stripe.

    Might need to replace it.

    I tried re-seating today, no effect. Do I replace the whole sensor board? If so, where can I get one?
