I will assume the rest of the identifier is correct, perhaps you need to take a look at https://github.com/4JX/L5P-Keyboard-RGB#usage? Specifically about needing to use sudo if you haven't set up the udev rules.

Hi and Merry Xmas, SAme thing here with a legion 5 pro with Ryzen (is it why ?). I added the udev rules.

jim@pop-os:~/App$ ./legion-kb-rgb set --effect Wave

Do you need some other log ?

Valid identifiers the program recognizes are all 048d:c9XY where X goes from 5 to 8 depending on the year and Y is usually 5 for the "normal" legions and 3 for the "Ideadpad/LOQ" models. Are you sure your device has an RGB keyboard? If so, does Vantage recognize it on windows?

Same issue just occurred to me. Was working fine this morning but after i shut down my system and a few hours later got back on i was blessed with a full brightness rainbow strobe. when i went to relaunch it gave the issue presented here (Failed to find valid keyboard, Ensure you have valid keyboard and the application has access to it, In certain cases, this may be due to hardware failure) Running a legion5 Pro 16ACH6H win 11 AMD Ryzen 7 5800H. i have no idea if this is the proper place to put this issue as i do not use github but if it isnt i will move it there. i just cant stand this rainbow vomit

Damn it's not a RGB, only white and black backlight. sorry for losing your time

@CactusRaven What OS? Did Vantage ever (before or after this issue) recognize your keyboard?

[CactusRaven]

@4JX Windows 11 home, Vantage never gave the option to modify lighting ( fn+space does nothing ) which is how i found out about this software. its been working flawlessly for years and this is the only time i've had issue with it.

[CactusRaven]

this appeared for me i have no idea if it is helpful as i am decidedly NOT a computer person

[4JX]

Did you perhaps run the program with admin privileges at some point? Seems like it can't save a config/profile file due to one already existing.

Might consider the keyboard dead(-er) than before, can you check if LenovoLegionToolkit works for you?

[CactusRaven]

It boots, it runs, keyboard backlight unchanged. Wish i could understand what broke it in the first place. it was working perfect and now, nothing.

[CactusRaven]

oh well, itll get fixed somehow or another. have a good whatever it is for you. happy new year!
