Hi
I have an ASUS F510UA, which is similar to a S510/X510, but mine doesn't have a backlit keyboard. As the motherboard is the same, I went on and purchased a backlit keyboard. However, it doesn't light up. After searching for days, it seems to be a BIOS problem (specifically some NVRAM entry).
This can be fixed, on some laptops, with asus bios tool (bt) running some commands from DOS. Nonetheless, this doesn't work on this laptop.
I even tried to edit the NVAR with HxD and set the flag which is supposed to be set using the previous mentioned utility, but it doesn't work.
The stock bios from asus (S510) doesn't have any NVAR related to this, or even any other configuration (at least, visible with UEFITool).
Nevertheless, I flashed it on my laptop (as it is the same motherboard and BIOS part), but it doesn't enable the backlight on the keyboard (which is why I strongly suppose it is tied to an NVAR entry).
If anyone has a BIOS dump for any of these laptops with keyboard backlight enabled, I would be so grateful if you share it.
