Asus ROG Strix g17 where keyboard light and case light has died?

[josef264]

I have an asus rog Strix bought cheap off of someone who had it fixed up by their insurance after water damage. I got it with a brand new keyboard, motherboard, and basically everything apart from the screen.

But, it didn’t have working keyboard light or case light. The company that fixed it are worse than useless, and can’t fix it, so it’s up to me if I want light.

I don’t care for the rainbow light under the computer, but white keyboard light would be nice for dark days.

The underside rgb strip is gone, taken out when it was fixed and disappeared, so there are two plugs on the mainboard empty, and I slightly suspect those are what causes the lack of keyboard light as well.

There’s no issues with any of the ribbons between the keyboard and mainboard, everything is plugged in, no breaks or anything to indicate an issue here.

None of the software fixes usually recommended online has worked, so I am pretty sure it’s hardware related.

Can anyone help me out?
