GL502VM Rev. 2.1 Keyboard Problem [SOLVED]

Re: GL502VM Rev. 2.1 Keyboard Problem

SOLUTION

I finally found a solution for the keyboard problem.

I found the Asus Keyboard Adjustment tool, extracted the .exe file and inside the ./.rsrc/1028/BINARY directory are located 4 56k sized FW_NK000XXXXX files.

These are different keyboard firmwares that can be flashed to IT8171fn-56.

For the GL502VMK board I used FW_NK0003000B and flashed it with Vertyanov.


I'll post these files as attachments for anyone that has the same problem.

PS. Can a mod mark this post as solved? I couldn't find the solved option.

What connector did you use? how many number of pin was on the cable? 1.0mm or 0.5mm cable? what was pinout?
Can you please post these details for others so they dont have to find out on their own.

Thats a great fix. Can you post the IT8995 and other dumps into the your bios request post . https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=79528

I have the same problem, after updating the ROG Strix G513IM keyboard firmware, the keyboard stopped working, only the on/off key works.

You have the keyboard firmware for the ROG Strix G513IM or can you tell me how I could get it?

Re: GL502VM Rev. 2.1 Keyboard Problem [SOLVED]

When I flashed bios from here and booted w/o battery while mashing f2 keyboard works in bios. But you just restart and it's dead.

If you reset bios you can catch it by hitting f2. But if you leave it (w/o) hdd so it goes to bios by it self kB will not work =(

I'm at loss here. Do not have EC programmer.

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone could explain about the procedure of keyboard's firmware reprogramming on these Asus gaming laptops. I'd appropriate any help.

Thanks

hi guys!

I have the same problem and also a Vertyanov programmer. I can read/write the ITE chip from the keyboard connector and its a 128kb file. How can I target the 56 chip responsible for the keyboard? I do not understand how to programm that one.

Re: GL502VM Rev. 2.1 Keyboard Problem

You mentioned you can flash the keyboard firmware for this fix. Is there a process you can point me to that has a guide to making that firmware swap?

Please note that on Asus boards the designations printed on the board silkscreen itself (eg. X01AB Rev 2.0) often mean nothing. The exact model of the board is on the yellow sticker on the RAM slot or similar.

Re: GL502VM Rev. 2.1 Keyboard Problem

Thanks! @mcplslg123
I have the correct dump thanks to @SMDFlea.

And I'm back to square 1. (At least I have the right dump)
Now, I'm trying to flash the EC, Trying with 8171 I only can flash 56K of the EC Dump.
So, I tried programming the IT8995 (I took precautions and this time dumped correctly before flashing)

I did flash the EC IT8995 with success. But I keep having the keyboard problems.

I'll check the boardview to track down the connections but I really think is firmware related. Because some dumps I try with IT8171 resulted in CapsLock led always on and others shut it down.

Any ideas what should I check next?

UPDATE:

I found out that Main Bios DOES rewrite the EC Bios after first boot.

Look at post#4 in https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=67696 for GL502VM rev 2.1 bios.

Re: GL502VM Rev. 2.1 Keyboard Problem

Your bios backup isn`t proper. Make another backup and post it in the other thread of yours in the bios requests.

Ok then I think I'm screwed, :eek: I didn't pay attention and the dump failed.

And I already overwritten the Main bios, It does boot tho, but I'm pretty sure it isn't the model because inside the bios it shows GL502VMZ

What should I do now?
