Thread: Can't seem to turn on keyboard backlight on G53

  1. #1

    Can't seem to turn on keyboard backlight on G53

    Not sure what i did previously but now my keyboard backlights seems to be permanently off, I have tried using the Fn+F3 and Fn+F4 keys to turn up the keyboard backlights but to no avail.. I think there is nothing wrong with the lights as they do light up for a second or 2 when i first turn on the laptop but after that it goes dark.

    awesome
    ASUS is pronounced "Ay-SOOS"
    ROG should be pronounced "R - O - G"

    It's part of the ATK Package (latest version is 1.0.0008) which you can find easily on the Driver and Application Reference sticky in the G73 Forum.

    I just bought my g53 today and I started using it. Once I started updating it the button that enables the back light only turns the light on and off for the buttons on the top. I tried installing the package you recommended and even made sure it was the latest version(.0008). Do I ave to run anything in the package after I install it because I can't seem to find it by searching and I would have no clue where to start looking for it.
