    Ok so i decided and got this cool machine although i encountered some problems out of the box.
    1) Webcam do not work
    2) Led manager do not work (tried reinstaling utility form disk and downloaded one. still no succes)
    3) Not really a big issue but the touch button which turn on and turn off led lights kinda dimly blink all the time. Dont know if it can lead to bigger issues.

    Thanks

    Update: ok led problem solved. 2 to go.

    The machine doesn't come with any webcam software. What are you using to see if its working?

    You have to turn on the web cam with the hot key. FN + F6 will start the web cam. As for the flicky touch button light, go to MSI web site and look on there and see if its something they talk about.

    My LED Touch button is dimly lighted up yes. Have had it for months now, no worries. It doesn't blink though, but it's abit lit up yes.
