Predator G9-791 keyboard backlighting turns off automatically when off charge.

Hi, I just got my Predator G9-791 laptop yesterday and it has been pretty fantastic so far. However, I have one minor concern about it and it has been bugging me so much that I decided to turn off backlighting whenever I wasn't charging the laptop.

When my laptop is charging and I have all zones turned on in predatorsense, the backlighting is fine and doesn't switch off. As soon as I take it off charge, the backlights turn off automatically after 15-20 seconds of inactivity. It only turns back on as soon as I type a key or if I switch the zones off and back on in the program.

Can anyone let me know if this is normal with this model? If it is, is there any way to "fix" it so that the backlights don't turn off automatically when I want them to be on when the laptop isn't charging?

Thank you.

this is pretty normal, my leds turn off automaticlly when i don't use my keyboard, its good if you want to save the power and prolong the life of the leds, but incase if you want to change the settings, i think its possible either on predatorsense or battery power and saving settings..

i have the same problem, i own a Predator 15 (GTX 1060). As soon as i remove the charger, after 10-20 seconds, the keyboard backlight will turn off and also the lighting of the predator logo behind the monitor. I can't find it on the predatorsense, predator sense is a basic software, so the solution is not in there. can you help me with this kind of problem?

On battery hit FN+F7 to enable keyboard backlight. (on the Helios)

You can check for a similar backlight control button on the G9.

I can check mine tonight to see which one does it.

For me this is good and same functionality I want while on power and for all keys and display back too. I dont power off notebook and at night, it is disturbing :-(
