G752VSK exhaust and light bar not working

[rogelio06]

Hi all, I've reading through the forum for days now, I had my keyboard not working and found an incredible solution here. But now I noticed my light bars (behind the screen) and exhaust led (behind battery) are not turning on.
I've tried several atk driver versions, gaming center versions, even armoury crate, none of them worked.
I've seen posts with the same issue, telling that letting the battery drain out solved their problem, already tried, no luck.
I don't know what else can I do, I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware problem.
I have the original eSupport folder, tried it too, no luck.

I hope someone here can help me, thanks in advance.

I did it, but lights are still off.

Basic questions:

1. Your OS is located in RAID on two M.2 drives?

2. Have you reloaded your OS?

3. After reloading your OS, and before updating Windows, did you use the ASUS Installation Wizard (located in the eSupport Folder) to install all the original ASUS programs and drivers? Then updated Windows?

Once that is accomplished you can then update the programs and drivers, using my list I provided earlier.

1. I have two ssd installed but they are not configured as raid

2. By reload you mean fresh install? Thats what I did, original windows 10 home got some viruses messing around and I decided to fresh install windows 10 pro

3. That's exactly what I did, waited almost 30 minutes while ASUS Installation Wizard installed everything, it didn't show any errors. Then I started installing programs and updating windows. By now I've tried like 5 versions of atk and gaming center, different combinations of them too.

Sounds like you might have a hardware issue.

Good Luck

Noooo don't give up like that, I though the same about my keyboard, even bought a new one, after two months I found a software to flash and reset it and know I'm working with my original keyboard.
I totally refuse to give up on these lights, they are even physically connected in two different spots, they can't get wasted so synced.

sorry to bother you again, can you send me a screenshot of your registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ASUS\ROG Gaming Center\ROG ATKStatus

thanks.

Well, there goes my best theory then, we have it identical.
I've been trying to figure out which registry does the control center "light bar" button affect. But I haven't found it.
You can call me crazy but I must try, there is a Nirsoft software which lets you take a snapshot of your entire registry, I've been using it this way: with control center already opened I go to this software and take a snapshot, then I quickly change the "light bar" status, and compare the snapshot to the current registry. Then it shows me which keys have been modified since last snapshot.
Of course it's too much to ask you to do the same, but it would be very cool if you'd agree.

This is the software if you want to take a look: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/registry_changes_view.html

OK, The first png file was with the lights ON.

This png file is with the lights OFF:

I use TechSmith SnagIt software, thanks.

Second png is with ROG Gaming Center running and lights OFF to make first registry snapshot, then switch lights ON and make second registry snapshot.
