    G53SW-A1 problems

    Anyone please help me

    I recently bought G53SW-A1, never update anything just setting from the start. In the next days, this laptop is having some problems. 3 buttons on the upper left seems doesn't work (only lights on/off works WITHOUT indicators on the screen, just the light goes on or off without notice -> usually if you turn on or of the lights, you will have a notice in your screen about lights on/off right?) And the 2 other buttons doesn't work!

    The next is, I think some Fn + hot keys doesn't work too!
    Only Fn+F1/F5/F6/F7/F8 seems working, others are not! I can't turn on the backlight keyboard while the lights indicator IS on, I can't turn on bluetooth/wireless, can's turn volume up or down, can't use lifeframe, etc.

    I only uninstall some bloatware programs: only Asus Live Update and game park console. Never update anything (but it seems the windows updated itself, I don't know because there were no notice at all).

    Anyone please help me. Thank you!

    Sure. But what for? I don't have any problem with the GPU.


    @JOSEA & Chastity
    Okay everything seems working after reinstall ATK from Asus site. But there's only Fn+F2 (which mean bluetooth/wireless console) still doesn't work! Should I reinstall driver for bluetooth?

    Thanks!

    Done, but nothing happened. Still can't use Fn+F2 button.
    But the bluetooth works, don't know about the wireless console.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    @IgnisDR
    Have you try installing from Asus support site?
