    aSUS k55vd no backlight

    As you can see on the pic , LED_BKLTEN is managed by two bat54a diodes
    in common anode configuration.
    Backlight works only without LCD_BACKEN_PCH_IR signal, this line has 25 Ohm (with or without the 104 resistor array), 0.7 V and is connected direct to pch.
    If I remove the diode D4602 backlight go on (LED_BKLTEN get 3.3 v) and the pwm signal LED_BKLTCTL can change the brightness.
    pch issue ? but if I leave it all like this what could happen?

    If D4602 is removed, I guess the followings may be possible:
    - Backlight gets on earlier than expected at startup.
    - Backlight stays on when the OS tries to turn the screen off after 20min of inactivity.

        Asus G513QE keyboard and backlight not working
        by ktmmotocross
        Have this Asus G513QE with keyboard, keyboard backlight and Led backlight not working. other works ok.
        i measure all voltages ok on keyboard, KB backlight and Led backlight. looks like a kbc error.
        but as laptop works i think it cannot be bad. maybe its FW. have anybody some hint for this?

        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...

        Asus G712L No Screen Backlight
        by FallenOne008
        Hi everyone, hope all is well. I have run into a problem where my backlight screen is no longer working.

        The original screen was beginning to show signs of faultiness. I believe it was part of the inverter board that was going bad. The backlight for the screen was still functional at this point. Well one night as I was tinkering with the laptop, my idiot self forgot to disconnect the battery from the motherboard. I attempted to reconnect the EDP cable onto the motherboard, and as you might guess, I saw a nice spark from the cable and the port. Don't worry, I'm still kicking myself...

        Asus Strix G513QR logo appears, then only the backlight stays on
        by hardwareserwis
        Asus Strix G513QR-HF016
        Motherboard: G533-MP-GBM, 6050A3250202-MB-A01

        The motherboard powers on, the Strix logo appears, then only the backlight stays on — it does not enter the BIOS and hangs at that stage.
        The laptop arrived with a broken screen and a damaged display cable.

        Actions performed:
        • New BIOS dumps have been flashed
        • A new Ryzen 7 CPU was soldered in (tested with two different units), but the issue remains the same with both
        • Tested with a different display cable and screen
        • No missing components or visible damage on the motherboard; no components
        ...
