Does anyone know how to turn off the keyboard lights permanently? I have no use for it an its a bit annoying to have to turn it off every time i turn on and/or restart the computer. Otherwise i just LOVE this laptop its by far the best computer ive owned...

    I dont know if there is a setting for this, but you can disconnect the flex cable of the led lights if you open up your laptop. There are 3 flex cables, one of thm is for the led backlight.

    look at this video, the led cable is the amber/brown one he points on minute 3:58

    about the warrranty, I guess, but there arent any tamperproof stickers or labels.

     

    this is another tutorial. These are for the 591 model but I guess the 791 is pretty similar.

    use the blue fn button on the bottom of the keyboard along with the f9 at the top.

    that just turns it off until the computers next restart...
