GT60 - Coolerboost Keyboard Backlight Buttons

Hi!
Does anybody know what kind of driver or utility is responsible for buttons mentioned in topic? I've already downloaded all drivers and utilities from MSI website and those buttons still don't work. Pleas help me!
Thanks!

This buttons?
-- Touch this sensor to increase the fan speed to cool down
the overall temperature of the notebook.
-- Touch this sensor repeatedly to turn this function on or off
recurrently.
-- Touch this sensor repeatedly to switch ON or OFF the
colorful flash keyboard LEDs which are mounted beneath
the keyboard.

MSI GT60 2PC keyboard backlight problem

The keyboard backlight effects are not working for me on this laptop. Only Normal and Gaming work. Breathing, Wave, Dual color and Audio dont work even when it says active layer. Help me with this problem. Thank you

Can you tell what OS are you using, BIOS and EC version and also SteelSeries Engine version?
Have you already try to update the EC firmware and re-install the SteelSeries Engine?

3rd party gaming keyboard backlight button?

So i just purchased a 3rd party CM Storm Devastator keyboard and it is compatible for both PC and Mac, it is a pc keyboard but i just remapped the keys so its all good, but the backlight toggle is on the SCROLL LOCK button. For some reason when I press the SCROLL LOCK button it doesn't turn on. When I plugged the keyboard into my sisters's PC (eww pc) the SCROLL LOCK button for the backlight worked perfectly. Is there a separate command for Macs to activate scroll lock? Thanks.

Hello Jenketsu,
it's not my code. i've just found it on the internet.
for me it works.
I've a 3rd party CM Storm Devastator keyboard.
In a Windows enviroment the backlit can be switched on/off by the "scroll lock" key.
In Linux the backlit can be switched on/off by the "scroll lock" key too (but before it works this function must be activated by command "xmodmap -e 'add mod3 = Scroll_Lock'").
In MacOSX 10.9.2 i've found these HID-LED-test-tool.
The HID-LED-test-tool generates some output:
as you can see there are two "device" entries. the second one seems to be the external CM Storm Keyboard. the backlight is on, when the the third value is "0x000000001".
regards...

Bluetooth, iSight and Keyboard Backlight not working. Please help!

My Bluetooth stopped working along with my iSight and Keyboard Backlight. I first noticed the weird sign over the bluetooth icon, and it read "Bluetooth not available". I payed no attention to it for a while until I tried to take a picture with Photo Booth and I read "No camera found", for some reason I tried to dim the backlight on the keyboard and a blocked sign appeared under the brightness level, not letting me do anything (Later I was able to use the backlight with the LabTick app). I have tried everything. SMC, PRAM, NVRAM, logging as diferent and new users, booting in safe mode... every solution I have found on the internet has been tested by me. Then I read this about the Hardware Test solution, and surprisingly after performing the Hardware Test no problems were found! So basically my MacBook Pro (mid 2010) is not having any trouble of any sorts with anything. Then why can't I use Bluetooth, iSight or Key backlighting (which only works through LabTick). Given the fact that the hardware test shows no problems I am not comfortable with the idea of taking it to repair. There MUST be something I can actually do to fix these issues.
Does anybody have any idea? I repeat, these are NOT WORKING, NOT FOUND AND NOT AVAILABLE.
- Keyboard Backlight (Only works through LabTick)
- iSight Camera (Not found by any software)
- Bluetooth (No info appears on the system profile, the icon on the menu bar is completely gone)
All three issues happened at the same time, the night before everything was working perfectly fine.
If anyone could help... please!!!
Summary:
MacBook Pro Mid 2010 (http://support.apple.com/kb/SP583) Unibody, can't take out the battery.
Solutions tried:
- Reset SMC: Turning on while holding Shift + Ctrl + Option + Power Button (This makes my MacBook forget about the battery and start up with really loud fan noise, battery icon appears with an X on it, keyboard backlight buttons work, they show brightness level on screen, but the actual light won't work, no bluetooth, no isight)
-Reset PRAM and NVRAM: Turning on while holding Option + CMD + R + P (I have waited for 2 chimes, 3 chimes and 4 chimes at different times, nothing happens. Light, bluetooth and isight are still gone)
-Holding Power Button for 10 seconds, 20 seconds, longer... nothing changes.
-Creating and logging in as new admin user, nothing changes.
-Deleting the bluetooth.plist file and powering off and on again, also rebooting
-Deleting the SystemConfiguration folder, powering off and on again, also rebooting
-Installing "blueutil", didn't help at all, turned it off via terminal with command blueutil off.
-Performing Apple Hardware Test - Shows no erros or problems on any area after one full hour of testing (Performed the extended testing)
-Leaving it powered off overnight
Please anyone help meee!! I can't afford going crazy!
Thank you so much in advance!

MSI GE70 2OE keyboard backlight

Hi,
I have Msi ge70 2oe-201tr notebook. I used ''remove everything and reinstall windows'' option for a few problems. However, the backlight button isn't working after reseting. How can I solve this problem?

The keyboard backlight button? Have you reinstalled SCM?
Have you tried to do the Embedded Controller reset procedure?
I hadn't heard . Can you tell me how to do the Embedded Controller reset procedure?

T540p Keyboard Backlight and fn-Buttons

Good evening,
I've got a brand new T540p since 2 days. First, I installed Windows 8.1 from the Recovery Media and after the Windows and Lenovo Updates I installed all the Software I need.
Yesterday I noticed, that I have to push Alt+Fn+F4 to close a Window. Or I have to push Fn+F3 for a Searchwindow.
Can anyone tell me, if it's possible, to change the Function of the F-Buttons?
And is it possible, to turn on the Keyboard Backlight all the time and not for a few Minutes while I'm typing?
Kind Regards
Manuel
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can change the FN-key functions by pressing FN + Esc (activates FNLock).

Keyboard backlight

After the initial trauma of a beer spill, that happened to land all over my MBP keyboard, I have realised that it still functions perfectly. The wine hasn't managed to get through to the inner workings or hardware of my mac and the only casualty seems to be the keyboard backlight. Although it seems that the backlight is still working the beer has stained the film that separates the keyboard from the internal hardware. The result: a few keys light up properly and the rest are incredibly dim.
I realise that it'd be near impossible to repair this problem myself and I have come to understand that I will most likely have to have the top case replaced. Does anyone have any advice or any hint as to what the cost may be to fix my keyboard?

Great, @BtrLuckNxTime it normally takes about 10-12 seconds.

Keyboard Backlight not working after SMC reset

I have a Late 2009 MacBook Pro, and I noticed that the backlight for my keyboard stopped working last night. I Performed an SMC reset and powered the computer back up. Again the backlight never came on, but I noticed that if I pressed the keyboard brightness buttons the icon that used to show on the screen showing what the brightness is at, (like the volume one), was not showing up anymore. I checked the keyboard settings and noticed that the auto brightness for the keyboard dissapeard. Anyone have any suggestions?

try to reinstall your firmware, im having the similar problems, but reinstalling wont let me.... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237

Keyboard backlight not working - settings missing on MacBook 2,1??

I have a macbook 2,1 that was given to me by a friend about 6 months ago. It is in perfect condition except some seperation around the edges. So, I took into the Apple store a couple of days ago and they replaced the entire 'inside' of the macbook; meaning screen surround, keyboard and surrounding 'faceplate'. (Excuse the incorrect terminology) I also mentioned to them that the keyboard didn't have any backlighting (at least I have never seen it) and the tech said would also be repaired as a result of the keyboard replacement.
ANYWAY, I am home and the keyboard backlight is still not working. I searched mac help and found the following:
To set keyboard backlighting for a portable computer:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Keyboard & Mouse, and then click Keyboard.Open the Keyboard pane of Keyboard & Mouse preferences
To enable backlighting, select the “Illuminate keyboard in low light conditions” checkbox.If you want to automatically shut off the backlight when your computer is idle, drag the slider to indicate when to turn it off.
The only thing I saw was an option for bluetooth - n/a, keyboard shortcuts settings to change shortcuts..obviously and the keyboard setting which only gives me the choice to
1. change the key repeat rate
2. change the delay until repeat rate and 3. a box to check/uncheck if I want to use the f1, f2, etc as the standard function keys.
There is also a button at the bottom left corner which says 'modify keys' which I believe is n/a.
I should also probably mention, when searching help, it also said "The light sensors are located in your computer’s speaker grilles, so make sure the grilles are not covered when you use your computer in low light conditions" . I have no speaker grilles (that I can see) but my speakers work. and it says; "IF the keyboard on your computer can be backlighted, you can set it so the keys can be visible in lowlight conditions". I guess the keyword here being IF so maybe this mac isn't supported for that but I think that it is from what the person at the Apple store told me after looking up my serial number.
Just to add, I did search the forum and found close to the same problems but with different types of macs so I thought I would ask. I am still learning the ins and outs of using Mac so I hope I asked the right questions and I'm not over expanding on the question too much.
I am sure there is a simple explanation...maybe?! So if someone could enlighten me, I would be very grateful!!!!
Thank you!!!!

Problem: keyboard backlighting on Macbook Pro (2011) with OSX Lion.

I have the System Preferences option "Illuminate automatically in low light" disabled.However, when I wake the computer from sleep and the login screen appears, the backlight of the keyboard lights up. Despite the fact that I did not ask for this, although it is really something useful, so I'm not opposed to it. But once I enter the session, the keyboard backlight stays on. Entering the session to make things worse, the machine seems to "think" that the lighting is off, because I press the button to decrease (F5 key) but does not decrease the backlight of the keyboard. Instead I have to first increase the backlight, and reduce it in order to disable it.
Also, if you do the procedure to decrease the light of the keyboard and enter the session, when the screen off (in my case after 5 minutes) stays on the keyboard! If you type the shortcut to turn off the screen Control + Shift + Eject is the same.
Well, I'm looking for a way to: 1. ensure that the backlight of the keyboard is turned off upon login, or 2. completely, 100%, totally disable any auto-enable the keyboard backlight.
One solution is to completely disable the unwanted backlight keyboard. I need to be able to call it manually whenever you want.
This is a bug or feature the same system? Someone has gone or is going through this?
Thank you for listening.

After upgrading to the Mountain Lion over the Lion, the backlight of the keyboard problem was solved! Now the system understands that wish to leave the backlight off.
Now connect your MacBook to the first login screen backlight is already off. By switching users even through the login screen backlight does not turn over. I tested the backlight and is working properly.
So I believe it was a serious bug that happened to me the Lion.

Keyboard Brightness Buttons Not Working

I have a macbookpro. I noticed recently that the keyboard brightness buttons (up and down) were not working. When I push either one of them the brightness image comes up with a small circle with a line through it (as in like no smoking)? I can change the brightness setting in System Preferences / Display. Any ideas why this situation would occur and how to change it so that I can use the keyboard controls? It is inconvenient not to be able to adjust the brightness from the keyboard. Thank you in advance for your assistance. MACarmel.

Use your left thumb to cover the iSight camera lens in the top of your display bezel. This will also cover the ambient light sensor that is 5mm to the left of the camera. With the sensor covered, can you adjust the brightness of your keyboard using the F5 and F6 keys? If so, the problem is simply that the ambient light level in your room is higher than the threshold at which the keyboard backlighting is turned off automatically. Your MBP thinks you don't need the backlighting on.
You can override the automatic backlighting control by using Lab Tick.

Toshiba Satellite S70-B - Keyboard backlight not working?

Hello, I purchased a brand new Toshiba Satellite S70-B laptop with Windows 8 on it. When I received it, I removed the harddrive and installed a SSD with Windows 7 on it. After getting help from Toshiba support, all the drivers and harware seem to work except the backlight keyboard? I spoken to several Toshiba support techs and finally came to the conclusion to send it in to change out the keyboard. Yet I fear if I send it in, they will remove my SSD and reinstall a hardrive with Windows 8 as their solution. Does anyone have other suggestions... ?? Any help is appreciated.

I am having problems with my keyboard backlight too. I spilled water on mine and had to totally take it apart, until then I never had any problem with the shortcut key turning it on and off. I found this last night. Unfortunately. it didn't work for me Also became disappointed when I searched and searched for that magic timer on my desktop he spoke of. Let me know. 1) Shut down laptop
2) Turn on and start tapping the F2 button until you get to the BIOS screen
3) Scroll over to power management and change the setting for your backlit keyboard from off to on.
4) Press F10 to save and continue to start up.
5) Enjoy.
Believe it or not, I JUST fixed this issue on my own a665D laptop. I am still tweaking it though because after this, the shortcut keys don't allow you to turn the backlight off so I'm typing on a keyboard who's LED's wont go off as of yet. But this should help for now.--REVISION: I am done "tweaking it" as I have found the answer and it was glaring me in the face. Instead of just turning it to the ON position through BIOS, turn it to TIMER. You can set the amount of time you want it to stay on when ever you press a key and the FN+Z shortcut works when this is set up so you can turn the keyboard on, off, or to follow the timer right from your desktop. I hope this helped.

You are officially awesome. Worked perfectly; I never would have ventured into the BIOS without an exact guide like you gave (Would have blown up the laptop or something lol). But anyway, thanks so much,

Keyboard Backlight Settings have no effect vaio Control Center

I have a Sony laptop, model SVE14A35CXH, and my backlit keyboard does work, it's just that the settings in Vaio Control Center, under Keyboard Backlight, the settings for that have no effect on the actual keyboard backlight. I make the setting to never turn on, for both on battery and plugged in, the keyboard still comes on when a key is pressed. I change the setting to turn on in low light, turn off after 60 seconds, it always turns off after 15. Any time I change the backlight settings, the actual keyboard backlight always turns on in low light conditions, and always turns off after 15 seconds if a key is not pressed. The settings have no effect on what the backlight does. Help would be appreciated.

Hi Derp-Derpinson,
Are you using a retail version of Windows? You mentioned before that you did a complete fresh install of Windows 8. Please follow the troubleshooting guidelines below:
Power Cycle - remove the battery and all peripherals -> press and hold the power button for 5 seconds. This will drain the electricity of the unit. Check again the backlight.
Reset BIOS.
Make sure that these drivers are installed or updated: (Sony® Firmware Extension Parser Device Driver, Sony® Shared Library, Hotkey Utilities). You may go to eSupport to download the drivers.
You may also reinstall Vaio Control Center.
Hope these work.
Regards,
Vincent

Pausing iTunes Turning Off Keyboard Backlight

got a new MacBook Pro recently and just now noticing something pretty odd...
whenever I pause a song in iTunes, be it by pressing spacebar while the application is active, hitting the actual button in iTunes, or using the shortcut keys on the keyboard itself, the keyboard backlighting always cuts off. it comes back on at random intervals, and sometimes not all.
I've even tired re-installing iTunes. it's a pretty odd problem, heh...
any ideas?
thanks!

Is it doing it like this?:

If so, see this:

I'm guessing you too have the "iSpazz" plugin installed in your iTunes folder. If so remove it and your problem will be fixed. as far as I know, there is no way to keep the plug in in there without causing this problem. Its a pain, but the only way I found is to put the plug in in there when I want to show off the keyboard, and take it out when I'm done.
Hope this helps

Scott

Does Satellite P750-10E supports keyboard backlight?

Hello,
Yesterday I bought Toshiba Satellite P750-10E and I'm not sure if this model has keyboard backlit, because in few reviews I saw that this model has keyboard backlit but I dont have it, or dont know to turn it on.
Please help me to fix this problem, I really need keyboard backlit because many times type in dark room. :)
BTW this is awsome notebook, Im very greatfull and happy to have this model, just need a keyboard backlit if its possible to turn on.
Thank you for answers. :)

Hi
Checked the user manual of the P750-10E but didnt find the info that the keyboard backlight would be available I think the notebook does not support this feature.
Furthermore if the keyboard would support backlight, then the Z button should contain a tiny sign which would refer to this feature.
