    Hello, I'm having a problem with my G73SW 3DE. I accidentally uninstalled the ATK package from the laptop and now I can't use the shortcuts and most importantly the backlit keyboard cannot be turned on. I searched google for help and found this: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download G73Sw and downloaded the "ATKACPI driver and hotkey-related utilities"
    I then installed it, rebooted and an error came out: "You have to install ATK0100"
    I searched for the whole day and cannot find a working version. Hopefully someone can help me solve this problem.

    Cheers!

    Thanks! I entered the first link and after seeing THIS "Asus Driver and Application Disc for G73SW MD5: EC5579E8DFE28218F58D13AF6A331C9B"
    I facepalmed. I forgot about the disc that came with my pc.
    So I installed the ATK package in the disc and it is working again. Thanks for indirectly helping me. xD

    Could someone help me out also, which files do I actually need. I did a fresh install the other day and installed the ATK package off the driver disk that came with the machine but no joy with the lights.

    ^^^ Do the keyboard lights flash when you turn on the machine?

    This guide may help. It includes links to all of the packages, and
    is only a few weeks old (it appears to be for the G74SX however):
