Asus Vivobook X512J Adding Backlit Keybd

[asus1]

I recently purchased it. It was advertised as having a back lit keyboard but it doesn't, as the F7 key was not labeled. I opened it up and determined the empty ribbon cable connector was present on the main board for the back light so I installed a lighted keyboard but the keyboard still doesn't light when i press the F7 key.
Looking for a solution that would allow the lighted keyboard to function. I've checked for and installed the latest updates from the "my Asus" app.

Thx, Don

Have you tested the FN + F7 key combination?

I did try fn+f7 which doesn't work.
