Is there a way to turn OFF keyboard backlight from BIOS ?

Isn't there a key combination?

Yes, Fn+F3 acts like a dimmer. But, as soon as the laptop reboots,
something automatically turns keyboard backlight back ON,
undoing my previous dimming.


On an entirely different laptop model, but
with JX option, the behavior is both BIOS
mediated and also mapped as an ACPI object
(as ATKACPI has access to it). I expect in

Thanks, from the forum thread link you provided (below),
it sounds like the ATKACPI driver decides when
to turn ON keyboard backlight and TIMEOUT value.
There is no setting that the user can control.


either case, each time the machine starts,
it uses a BIOS code default, and doesn't
"remember" the previous session. Check the
release notes on support.asus.com for your
model, and see if they made any behavior
changes in a later release.

The machine has plenty of storage possibilities,
if they wanted to record the setting for next time.
