Dell Studio 17 / 15 Touch Buttons Fix

For anyone who has a Dell Studio 17 / 15, if the touch buttons close to the screen, (Media Direct, back, stop, play/pause, forward, mute, softer, louder, and eject) ever stop working. You can try this. My problem was that one of the buttons stayed lit up, even upon restarting and reinstalling QuickSet (try that first). If you still have problems, try the following. Shut down your computer, remove the ac cord, and the battery, and then hold the power button for about 30 seconds. This drains residual power from the motherboard, which in my case, fixed it.
