    All LEDs are working, except for the backlit keyboard. I know basic operation of how to turn on or off, and there's nothing for the keyboard in BIOS, is there anything I'm missing or do I need a new keyboard?

    Update: removed the keyboard, connections looked good but I tried to push them in a little more just in case they were loose. Once I restarted, everything worked, but they went on and off a couple of times after an hour or so, and now them, along with the vent LCDs are off for good.

    I can keep resetting it by removing the keyboard, but it seems like thats not the answer...
