WinTips: Reversed Mouse + Screen Brightness

Alan Delgado asks,

"I just got a new Acer S7 after you showed me yours at CES, and I LOVE it, but I think it's broken. The Trackpad is reversed, like it is on Macs, and I can't find out how to fix it. The Elan Utility has a section for reverse" scrolling, but it's greyed out. Also, the screen is REALLY dim. I have it turned all the way up, but it never seems to be as bright as yours. Do I have a defective laptop? Should I send it back?"

To fix the ELAN "Reversed Mouse"

To fix "Screen Dimness"

The problem is that the "Adaptive Brightness" will keep the screen from going full-bright in all but the brightest environments.

QC: Balancing Props

Unbalanced props are the #1 reason for "jello" video.

Spinning at a few thousand times per second can turn even a small imbalance into a major vibration

So what we need to do is to balance the prop so that weight is as equally spread around the blades (and hub) as possible
