    Hello everybody
    My notebook is a N552VX-FW140T, and as many others my backlit keyboard does not works on boot or windows.
    I have tried the Gary´s solution but no luck. So I will apreciate that if someone has a working backlit Bios dumped could send it to me by PM or public link or whatever way.
    I´ve tested the keyboard with an external battery and works perfectly. So the problem is not in hardware.
    Thank you in advance

    If you have already exhausted your options for drivers and the hotkey software, I would recommend backing up your files and doing a clean install of OS and starting over fresh.

    Thank you for your answer but I have made a clean install too, but I am sure that the issue is in the BIOS, because in the post the keyboard don´t flash and must do. I have read about that problem but the solutions are very old and for notebooks with a BIOS older than mine. So I´m looking for a working BIOS to flash it on mine.BR

    Solved. Thanks to jcd69 that give me the solution here http://voltground.com/haven/threads/132/ my backlit it's back. So if someone has an Asus with backlit keyboard maybe could try that solution. It's very easy and fast.
