The backlight on my laptop keyboard won't shutoff, even after a reformat
So I have an Alienware M17X R4. It has what Alienware calls "Alienware FX" I can change the colors of the backlights in different areas etc. For a couple weeks now it has been stuck on. One day I tried turning it off, and it wouldn't turn off. When I hit the key to turn it off a message even comes up saying it is now off. I have tried uninstalling the drivers for it and the program that controls it and re installing but that didnt work. I have now reformatted and re installed OS onto a new HDD because Im getting ready to sell the laptop, but it still wont turn off. I have disasembled the laptop and disconnected the ribbon connectors that connect the keyboard to the mobo, but that didnt do anything either. Does anyone have any ideas?
