    nothing like disassembling things :D

    it seems to be a line of LEDs (yellow) on the keyboard independently of the other(white)

    E.T.spaceship :D (main LEDS)

    "Alt Gr"?? european KB??
    i dont rem any yellow lights on my KB when i opened it up...
    were they always there and you seeing them now?? coz uniform degradation like that along one line is kind of unlikely....
    Maybe its a EU KB thing

    Yep, spanish KB with Ñ :cool:

    From what I've seen, the backlight of the keys is powered by a row of LEDs (ET pic :p) and each key has a piece that reflects light.

    I do not know if the yellow lights (or pieces) were there before and I had not seen :p

    My G73 has the yellow lights too, under two keys if I recall. Alt and something else. Don't recall.

    I don't know. It's is really weird. I checked this thread this morning and my keys where all white light. Later I made a BIOS, vBIOS and catalyst update and now I have the yellow light in my keyboard.

    I had a row of yellow lights on both keyboards i owned (the US and Slovenian), so i guess its designed like this.

    I'm not sure if it's supposed to happen or not. I thought since it was on only like two keys, that it was the white light reflecting on something copper, giving the yellowish tone.
