    MSI Katana B12VFK keyboard backlight

    Hi. I need to replace the keyboard in MSI Katana B12VFK. Unfortunately, there are no keyboards with a wide backlight flex available. However, they come with a narrow flex. Do you think that if I put a connector that the manufacturer did not install in this version, will the keyboard backlight work?​

    Carefully measure the voltage to ground of each of the missing connector's PCB pads. The large cluster of pins = ground. This will confirm if the exercise will be successful or not.

      Dell G3 15 3500 - Battery bug (black screen and flashing keyboard backlight)
      by HTR-Informatique
      Hello,

      YouTube video of the problem encountered: https://youtube.com/shorts/q7TLNv36LUo

      I am a pro and I have a problem that I have never seen despite my 7.5 years of experience on my own and my thousands of repairs, on a customer's Dell G3 15 3500.

      On this PC I have already changed the complete palmrest because the keyboard was no longer working properly.

      I also changed the screen because the PC fell and the screen was broken.

      I changed the battery with a new and original battery.

      I also had corrosion/oxidation on the...

      ASUS ROG Strix G713QR - Keyboard, backlight and side LEDs don't work
      by hollox123
      Hello, I have an "ASUS ROG Strix G713QR" laptop, and for approx. 3 months I have the following problems:

      1. Laptop keyboard doesn't work
      2. The backlight on the laptop keyboard doesn't work
      3. The x2 side LEDs (red) on the laptop don't work

      The power button works, the touchpad works, and all the USB, HDMI, Ethernet, etc. ports work.

      I already tried to reinstall all the drivers and reinstall Windows. So I don't know what to try anymore that is software-related.

      But I am strongly aiming that it is somehow a BIOS-related problem,...

      Keyboard backlight too bright - Asus Zenbook S16 / UM5606
      by user546087
      Hi,

      I have a new Asus Zenbook S16, Model UM5606. Unfortunately, the keyboard backlight is too bright, even on the lowest setting. I have explored several ways now:

      - kindly ask Asus for an adjustment - they basically told me to STFU and get lost It is not possible, they say. Of course.
      - tint the keycaps from behind - I have already tried that - it is kind of a last resort
      - try to find out, how it is done, look at schematics - this is, where we are at.
      - maybe get the BIOS modified somehow? This would be the best option but I do not know a lot about...

      820-02020 Super Weird Issue: Keyboard Input Character Map "Wrong"?
      by ugamazing
      So, I have a really bizarre issue that I'm struggling to identify the cause of. Working on an 820-02020 board with some bizarre keyboard/input-source character mapping. My suspicion is a possible damaged SPI ROM (U1970), perhaps, but I'm really not sure in this case:

      1. The issue is pretty weird, but when installing MacOS, I noticed my WiFi password did not work. I quickly realized the special characters (!@#$%^& etc) were not mapping correctly.

      2. I noticed the keyboard layout/input-source is defaulting to JAPANESE every single time I restore the board. I am not...
