My keyboard backlight used to go off in 30 seconds or so, BEFORE I made the upgrade to windows 8.1, it was staying on constistantly after a few microsoft updates.. Is there is a sensor (ambiant sensor)on the Aspire V5-571-pg. I also have to use the F9 toggle to turn the light off and on.

How can I set it to go off like it used to in 15 or 60 seconds?

Antone know. I like the F9 option, but prefer to keep it as just that. An option?

Same problem. I want to make the keboard backlight turn OFF as default setting when boot up.

I have the Aspire M5-583P.  My keyboard was staying lit at all times.  I noticed that it has started to only come on when I start to type and Now it goes off if I don't type anything after about 30 seconds. .  I did not change the default settings.  I'd prefer it be on at all times.  I'm sure it will draw more power that way.  But it's a preference.  I've only had the computer 16 days.  Can anyone tell me what happened.

I have the V5 - 573g, the keyboard always stays 'on' during startup. I really hope there is a way to set the default as 'off' since I always work in a well lit room. Turning it off all the time with Fn + F9 is just annoying.

seems that everyone has their own preferences, but keeping it 'off' by default sems to make more sense: my thinkpad R61 has a similar ThinkLight function that does not light up until I turn it on.

Advice to Acer: add more functions to your BIOS, let users set the keyboard backlight, num lock and other function defaults, this will make everyone happy.

signed. the available bios options are a real downer, especially that horrible secure boot that shows tons of new option one cannot change... whats up with that? well, secure boots the **bleep** anyway!

P.S. on V5-573G

David64, to change these options you need to set supervisor password first.
