    GL702VM Keyboard backlight not working [Solved]

    Hi guys my keyboard backlight doesn't turn on, was working last week but not now.

    I tried to reinstall ATK package without results

    Any idea? The Caps Lock and Power button leds are working and Fn keys too!

    Can be the cable ? The BIOS?

    Thanks

    Sorry for my english

    UPDATE:


    1- Check your drivers

    2- Check if the backlight cable is ok and working (I posted how to) and the mobo connector

    3- It's not very common but could be the bios

    This is my backlight cable, easy to access because is visible when you remove the back cover

    Use a 3V battery, I made my with two AAA batteries in series and two pieces of cable.

    Put one cable on the left of the ribbon and the other one on the right, if not working change the +/-. In other words invert the cables

    My problem was the connector, here is mine:
