It happens the moment after I booted Linux Kernel from GRUB (my bootloader of
choice), and when I'm not done booting Windows (along with the Lenovo drivers
supplied).

In short, it happens when I'm running Linux... or any other OS(es) without
driver or system support.

Same scenario as above.

Again, same scenario. It only works when...

1. The system is running in "Real Mode" (so to speak), under control of the
BIOS.
2. When running Windows 7/8/8.1/10 - the only systems with these "hotkey"
support drivers.

Given my responses above, I can certify that there's no hardware issue with my
laptop.
