After about 2 months of owning my m11x, two problems have developed.

1. The charger is made of two parts, the grey-ish part which lights up and the black part. They have now come apart (From normal use). The light no longer works and one of the cables which carry the current is exposed, which could possibly be dangerous (At the moment it is covered in tape)

2. A strange problem, when I change the brightness or volume in a game, the UI will appear informing me of the change, then it will minimise the game and whenever I try to get the game back up, the screen flashes black then goes back to the desktop, ultimately not letting me get back to the game. I have to crash the game or get into the task manager, which usually takes some time with a game like crysis running in the background.

Something else, not really a serious problem, just a little niggle. About 30% of the time when I resume the system from sleep, the keyboard lighting will either switch off, or turn white. im fine with it turning white, but because I often use it at night, Im annoyed when it turns off.

 

I love the m11x, it runs all the games I own perfect and its really, really portable. But these problems just bug me.

Is the changing volume problem unique to my machine or is it common in all m11xs?

If you need to know, its an M11x R2
