Hey guys,
I am a brand new owner of a ROG Strix G laptop, and have been having so many issues with the RGB lighting, and have searched all the forums, and Googled as much as possible in an attempt to fix things.
Originally I was not a big fan of the underglow on the laptop and wanted to disable it, which apparently isn't an option, at least from within Armoury Crate. I changed it to white, and it looked great, until I put the laptop to sleep for the first time, and was SHOCKED by the obnoxious red flashing light coming from the underglow when the laptop is in sleep.
I spent the next 5 hours just searching for some way to turn the red sleep flashing off, trying through the BIOS and through the inordinate amount of Aura related software that ROG offers, from Windows 10 UWP apps to standard Windows programs.
I eventually stumbled upon
this thread and read post #17, and immediately downloaded ROG Aura Core, which only detected the keyboard but I found a checkbox that said "Sleep". So i unchecked it, put the laptop to sleep, and lo an behold, the unuderglow was no longer flashing that ungodly red.
However, after waking the laptop, the underglow was still off, and to this day, it has not turned on ONCE.
I am in desperate need of help, I have even used Windows' "Reset This PC", while keeping my files function as an attempt, to no avail. And have messed with Aura so much I can no longer change the color of the keyboard, only the ROG mouse that came with the laptop, as the keyboard isn't being detected in Aura and in Armoury Crate. The keyboard is just the standard ROG red and i can change the pattern with Fn+LRArrows, but not the color. I have even downloaded the Aura SDK and was planning to make my own Aura controller, but I'm not a big fan of C++, I'm more of a C# advocate, so I didn't end up using the SDK.
Has anyone encountered this at all?
I know I can just try to "Reset This PC", with deleting all of my files, like a proper format, but I don't want to get to that point, I wanna try a less intrusive solution.
Thanks in advance.
And I hope other users find this post useful, because I did not manage to find anything with this many details and particularities.
😄Edit:
I did end up trying to format the PC entirely using Windows' "Reset This PC", still nothing, the underglow has yet to turn back on.
