Hi all

I was just wondering if there is a way to turn on the K700 without the annoying startup sound, by disabling it or whatever. The battery runs out every few days (I use games etc heavily), and I have it charging next to my bed. But sticking in the charger and turning it on plays that godawful startup noise, waking everyone else in the house up :/

So far I've just tried covering the speaker with my finger, but if I can mute it or disable it or something I'd be very, very happy.

Thanks for your help

put it on silent before you turn it off

then turn silent off after you have turned it on

thats about all you can do apart from muffling the sound as you have tried
