    A contact of mine is having a problem with his keyboard lighting..like the title states. He says the alienhead and the touchpad both work. But the keyboard and others do not show light. Any keys or way to reset it all to see if its just the system, or is it most likely the lights broke/burnt out?

    doh..title should be backlit*
