    I have a Eurocom Q8 and I uninstalled Control Center. The keyboard is dark and not backlit at all without control center installed. Is there any way to turn on the keyboard lighting, any color will do, without installing control center?

    Maybe some Fn key combo or something simple to toggle keyboard backlight?

    Does not seem to work on this PC. Keyboard LED comes up and gives options but the keyboard does not light up even if you enable it.

    I´m 100% sure it works with your laptop.
    Are you sure you really uninstalled CC fully?
    When you first run KeyboardLED did it ask you to install a DLL ?
