How to Fix ASUS Keyboard Backlight Not Working
0If your Asus laptop keyboard backlight isn’t working, there are a few simple troubleshooting steps you can try to get it functioning again. This video walks you through the most effective fixes, starting from a basic hard restart to more advanced solutions like updating your drivers or adjusting keyboard configuration settings in Windows.
Sometimes the issue is due to a temporary system glitch or improper boot, which prevents certain features like the backlight from loading correctly. In such cases, a hard restart can often solve the problem. To perform this, close all open apps and press and hold the power button on your Asus device for about 10 seconds. Release it once the device shuts down completely or you hear a subtle click sound. Wait a minute or two, then press the power button once to turn it back on. This forces the device to reinitialize hardware components, which can often restore backlight functionality.
If the backlight still isn’t working, the next step is to run the built-in Windows keyboard troubleshooter. You can do this by opening the Start menu, typing "keyboard troubleshooter," and following the on-screen instructions to identify and fix any detected issues. Sometimes, configuration errors or disabled services may be blocking keyboard-related features.
Another useful tip covered in the video is checking and updating your Asus keyboard drivers. You can do this via Device Manager. Simply open the Start menu, type "Device Manager," and locate the keyboard section. Expand it, right-click your keyboard device, and select "Update driver." Outdated drivers can often cause hardware issues, and updating them may immediately restore your keyboard backlight.
This video also briefly discusses configuring the ATK package (often referred to as ASUS Keyboard Hotkeys) and how it can affect keyboard functionality.
