Asus UX430UA keyboard backlighting

[gulios]

Hi,

 

I;m trying to fix keyboard lights in that laptop.

 

FN keys:

FN:

ACPIDebug: "EC _QD3 enter"

ACPIDebug: "EC _QD3 exit"



ACPIDebug: "EC _QD4 enter"

ACPIDebug: "EC _QD4 exit"

----------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------

FN+F1:  sleep/hibernate?

ACPIDebug: "EC _Q0A enter"

ACPIDebug: "EC _Q0A exit"

----------------------------------------------------

FN+F2: airplane mode

ACPIDebug: "EC _Q0B enter"

ACPIDebug: "EC _Q0B exit"

----------------------------------------------------

FN+F3: keyboard light down

ACPIDebug: "EC _Q0C enter"

ACPIDebug: "EC _Q0C exit"

----------------------------------------------------

FN+F4: keyboard light up

ACPIDebug: "EC _Q0D enter"

ACPIDebug: "EC _Q0D exit"

----------------------------------------------------

FN+F5: brightness down

ACPIDebug: "EC _Q0E enter"

ACPIDebug: "EC _Q0E exit"

----------------------------------------------------

FN+F6: brightness up

ACPIDebug: "EC _Q0F enter"

ACPIDebug: "EC _Q0F exit"

----------------------------------------------------

FN+F7: disable display

ACPIDebug: "EC _Q10 enter"

ACPIDebug: "EC _Q10 exit"

----------------------------------------------------

FN+F8: toggles displays

ACPIDebug: "EC _Q11 enter"

----------------------------------------------------

FN+F9: enable/disable touchpad

ACPIDebug: "EC _Q12 enter"

ACPIDebug: "EC _Q12 exit"

----------------------------------------------------

FN+F10:

No output - mute audio

----------------------------------------------------

FN+F11:

No output - decrease audio

----------------------------------------------------

FN+F12:

No output - increase audio

----------------------------------------------------

FN+A: toggles ALS Sensor on/off

ACPIDebug: "EC _Q76 enter"

ACPIDebug: "EC _Q76 exit"

----------------------------------------------------

FN+space:

ACPIDebug: "EC _Q71 enter"

ACPIDebug: "EC _Q71 exit"

----------------------------------------------------
 

so _Q0C and _Q0D are responsible for keyboard lights.

 

when i pres FN+F3/4 i'm getting:

It's 4 levels change lights

Name (PWKB, Buffer (0x04)

            {

                 0x00, 0x55, 0xAA, 0xFF                         

            })

I'm using AsusNBFnKeys.kext and  I've tried all 'Asus DSDT patches" without success.

 

any ideas how to fix it?

 

 

Thank you

side note, do you also have a windows partition on your laptop?
