backlit keyboard on acer spin 5 stopped working
I have an acer spin 5 which comes with a backlit keyboard that can be turned on via the F8 key. It used to always work fine until a few days ago it suddenly stopped working (all other F keys work as usual). I tried almost everything; reinstall the drivers, restart the laptop etc. Any idea?
[Edited the thread to add model name to the title]

Please provide the exact model so that we can look at the service manual..
Try to do bios defaults..While turning on the computer, tap f2. It will go to bios. Press f9 once. It will show load bios defaults with a yes or no popup. Press enter. Popup screen will disappear. Press f10 once. It will show save changes popup with yes or no. Press enter. Computer will restart and it will load into windows.
Kindly go through the details from link

Hi @baharrambod,
Try to do power drain,
1. Shutdown the unit.
2. Unplug the cables connected to the unit.
3. At bottom of the unit there will be a small tiny pin hole with a battery symbol close to it. Take a pin or a paper clip insert into it you feels like pressing a button hold it for 20-30 seconds.

Rather than camping out on an old thread like this one, you will get much better coverage starting a new thread. Use the Ask a Question button and include the full model number off the sticker than has your serial number, or the first ten digits of your serial number (only the first ten). Describe what is happening with your system and what you have done so far to try and fix it. Spin 5 by itself isn't enough, since they have been making various models of Spin 5 for many years now.
