    Hey guys, I just got my G73 today and I was dumb enough to press the button on the top left of the computer. Now I can't seem to turn the backlit keyboard back on, any help?

    Thanks

    Fn button (bottom left of keyboard) +F4 (F3/F4 brightness up and down)

    Fn key is your hotkey to adjust lots of settings displayed on the F(1-12) keys (i.e brightness/keyboard brightness/audio volume)

    ; )

    Seriously, the "Notebook PC User Manual" ASUS included with my X1 might as well hang from a roll. ASUS had to know it was insufficient and I'm surprised there wasn't an included cardboard tube in the box for proper mounting. :D

    Cmon they cover the basics!
    I didn't read the whole owners manual that came with my ASUS but at least I read what keys do what.
    Cmon people get with it :)

    Then you have a different G73 owners manual, as all the Fn keys are not covered in detail in the manual I have here. Please tell me which model of G73 you own so I may obtain your better version of the owners manual.

    If you are going to throw it away, I'll take it. :D

    Or, I could ask you if you have the ATK Package installed? ;)
