[SOLVED] What the hell is this touch button in acer 6930g ?!

[Rui Neves]

the touch button is working like a power button when the pc is turned off and when it´s turned on does nothing !
never seen anything like that , well maybe because of my lack of experience but anyway , what the hell is that button suppose to do ? It´s doing what is suppose to be ?

looks similar to touchpad icons i've seen that work to enable\disable mouse control vs a touchscreen.

maybe check on the Acer support forums.
i'm sure another owner has previously asked or can answer there what exactly it's supposed to accomplish and
how to set it up.

as per manual - https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1202/Acer-Aspire-6930-Series.html?page=4#manual

that could be the Acer empowering button

I have looked to tthat before , neither the manual or the other link have the same button that I have posted , but anyway I found on a facebook group about the laptop that it is for acer arcade delux , I dont have any software of acer installed right now so I have no idea why the button acts like a power button , the only explanation that I find is that windows somehow don´t know what to think when I pressed it , but at the same time my idea does not make sense because it only works like a power button when pc is off if it is on the button don´t do anythig at all ...

If the Arcade Deluxe button is pressed when the machine is off, it normally boots up Acer Arcade Instant-On. If that isn't present, it functions as a regular on button.
