Keyboard Backlight is not working for Asus X510UNR. #14

Laptop Model : Asus X510UNR I5 8250U | 8 GB | UHD 620 | Opencore

I Used your guide and it works flawlessly. Everything works right out of the EFI except for my Keyboard Backlight. I followed the steps of This reported issue and tried with Both AML files you had given but the Keyboard backlight just doesn't work.

I tried copying both files one by one (one for each attempt with reboot) and added into the config.plist file but it doesn't work.

Let me know if there's any way to make it work. I have attached my EFI folder here for the reference if you want to have a look.

Did you try copying the optional DDST from the optional folder? Thats what worked for me (also using the provided AsusSMC kext)

Packetowl commented 4 years ago

Yes I have tried with that too and also have the AsusSMC kext.

SSDT-PS2.aml disables keyboard backlight if you read the README. Delete the SSDT and add the optional SSDT-ATK-KABY-bkl.aml. I'll update the README to say these two SSDTs are mutually exclusive. In the meanwhile, please test what I said.

Well, I forgot to remote the SSDT-PS2.aml, I did it and now it works now :) Just one more thing.. i can't toggle them on or off (or cycle between brightens level of KB backlight). I have renamed the patch according to the other key maps. Config plist-snap

My laptop doesn't have keyboard backlight, so I can't test. Those patches in the image are from AsusSMC as well as the code in SSDT-ATK-KABY-bkl.aml. Makes sense.
