The machine is a UX303UA with i7-6500u, latest bios 303. Hi, Try installing the latest version Asus ATK Package and Smart Gesture drivers. Asus support tells me to send it in, but the cost just for them to look at it is almost the same as I bought the machine for. So, right now I think there is a hidden setting somewhere that tells my motherboard (and windows) that there is no backlight in my system, and windows doesn’t have to activate the keys for it. (Other ATK-package bits work such as “ambient light sensor” and trackpad). The 'TurnOffKeybdLight' string should located at 'Computer\HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\ASUS\ASUS System Control Interface\AsusOptimization\ASUS Keyboard Hotkeys'. Press 'ctrl+F' to call out the search box and type 'TurnOffKeybdLight' then press enter. Re-installing the Windows ATK-package (Hot keys) does not activate “Fn+F3/Fn+F4” to set the backlight. Win+R to call out the 'run' command, then type 'regedit' to call out the Registry Editor. ![]() The leds never turns on in any stage of boot up.

I had an english non-backlight keyboard on my zenbook, which was annoying since I live in Sweden.
