Dear All,
               Is it possible to disable the keyboard backlight timeout in the latest Swift 5 laptop. The latest bios version for the laptop is 1.12.
Thanks

    All,
        I filed a feature request with Acer India asking for a provision to disable the keyboard backlight timeout and recieved a respose today(10/Feb/2020) that they are working on a BIOS update with the new feature and would be rolling it out soon.

    Thanks

    Another new BIOS release, and still no ability to disable the keyboard backlight timer. Come on Acer, it can't be that difficult!!!
