After RMA, keyboard light and lightbar doesn't work. KBFix doesn't work

tl;dr: After RMA, G73JH lightbar + keyboard lights doesn't work. Flashing "fixmykb" doesn't work nor does reinstalling the ATK package or Windows (combined with some more flashing).

Hi, I recently bought my G73JH here in Sweden and everything seemed to work OK. However within 24 hours I had 2 BSODs due to intelppm.sys (CPU drivers) which the second resulted in an unbootable system (lights switch on, nothing else). Anyway, I RMA:ed it and recentely got it back with a new motherboard, a new cpu and what I can see with 2GB extra memory free of charge.

But the lightbar under the screen and the keyboard lights doesn't work. I have tried the keyboard fix flash thingy two times, one on the 211 firmware which was installed by the repair guys and another on the 211 firmware which I flashed when the first try didn't work.

When I flash it with the fix I get a simple console output with some asian characters at the top left corner and some text which ends in something like "return 0" (or was it "result 0"?) at the bottom. I don't know if this is what you mean by "Flash completion screen" but it sure doesn't validate in my book as a completion screen.

Anyway, so the lightbar AND the keyboard lights doesn't work. I've also reinstalled Windows 7 completely from scratch due to the fact that the Intel CPU drivers resulted in a BSOD even with the new motherboard and cpu, and I'm not taking any chances with those drivers anymore. When I reinstalled I also installed the ATK package, which I also reinstalled after each flashing attempt to see if that fixes the keyboard lights. The only change that combined with the flashing has introduced is that Fn+F3 and Fn+F4 now is seen as a valid hotkey and shows me the brightness thingy OSD, unflashed it isn't.

I haven't seen any other post about the lightbar not working, so is this a new problem, solveable or unsolveable? Any ideas on what to do next?

 

Does your light bar not light up at all? Maybe they forgot to plug in the cable for it.

Same thing for the keyboard, although it sounds like you are having more of an issue making the DOS boot environment or the patcher work, but you could check the keyboard light cable.
