HP laptops users: Can the glowing light of "media touch buttons" be turned off? The HP laptops have media touch buttons that are generally glowing white and blue (e.g. Volume +/-, mute, eject, play, pause etc.). Can these lights be turned off (or do they turn off automatically after some time)? OR do they remain "on" till the laptop remains on? The reason why I am asking this is that I am planning to buy a HP laptop (dv5t) and I was wondering that these glowing lights might create a distraction in the view... (I have seen on youtube that the similar glowing media touch buttons of Dell XPS 1530 automatically turn off after some time, i.e. if you don't touch them....... which is the way it should be) I hope the Q is clear, if not then please ask Thanks alot! :-)

Is it true you can not upgrade HP laptops... or is it just laptops in general? I am getting a laptop tomorrow. I dont know a lot about it. I have a choice between an Toshiba Satellite A205-S4707 and an HP Pavillion ( dont know what model). I am purchasing this through a retailer who is selling it to my husband at cost and has offered up these two kinds. I am a casual gamer. Which one would you recommend? I am somewhat computer literate and I know how to upgrade a desktop unit, but someone once told me that you can not upgrade an HP once it leaves the factory. Is this true? I am leaning towards the HP... but I am afraid if it does not completely suit my needs I will not be able to upgrade it so it does (i.e. more ram). I dont know what model of HP Pavillion, but I know this guy had the Toshiba one before it was even released on the market... so I hope it is a good one. Which would you choose?And can you upgrade an HP or a Toshiba after purchase? ONE MORE QUESTION.... I have noticed that some of the HP pavillions have fingerprint scanners. What is the finger print scanner for. Does it lock your computer unless your fingerprint matches?
Can an HP Printer/Scanner work with other laptops?

What do you think of HP Pavillion laptops? My mother is 80 years old... but she insisted she wanted to try computing. I bought her a loaded HP Pavillion with entertainment options and widescreen display. She used it occassionally for six months and she called and said it wouldn't turn on. The lights all come up but system would not boot. She shipped it to me and it seemed to be working fine. I used the HP support sight to check it out (re-seated the RAM and tested the AC adaptor) but everything looked good and finally sent it back to her. But after working off and on for six more months it has completely died. Now HP says they can't/won't replace it. All my personal equipment is Dell and works perfectly. The HP seems like crap to me. What do you think?
