OMEN 15-dc1042nl - WASD zone not lighting up

[TrudTilp]

Hello,

I've a problem (more or less) like that explained in this previous topic.

https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Gaming-Notebooks/HP-Omen-15-WASD-zone-not-lighting-up/m-p/7496112#M256...

I've updated Windows and bios. I can turn on and off backlight using F4 (no by Command Center. My laptop as not compatible for this feature) but the area of keyboard "WASD" has not lighting up.

I've tried with the solution suggested in the topic previous mentionated. I've eliminated all keyboards present in the Device Manager and set to default the bios values. No succes for my case.
Some one can suggest other solution?

Thanks a lot at all

Vincent A.

@TrudTilp Welcome to HP Community!

I understand that WASD keyboard lightning is not working.

Do not worry. I will try to fix the issue.

I suggest you first uninstall the software completely from the control panel > programs 

Next, run the SFC scan. you can refer to this Link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/help/4026529/windows-10-using-system-file-checker

Then download the latest Omen Command Center from this Link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/omen-command-center/9nqdw009t0t5?activetab=pivot:overviewtab

Keep us posted,

@Praveen196 Thanks a lot for you help but the problem is still there.

I tried all steps you suggest to me but WASD keyboard area stay light off. Only for information, OMEN Control software can not control the setup the keyboard light of my laptop. This feature in not supported on my laptop model.

I understand your concerns.

Please update the BIOS and check for the issue.

If the issue still persists, please perform the system reset.

Have a nice day!!

Thanks Praveen196,

I've already updated the laptop bios at last version available before publishing this topic.
I tried to boot the laptop by my "zero hour" hdd copy on external ssd with thunderbolt connection and the keyboard situation still the same. No ligth for the WASD zone.
I think is another problem.

I also have the same problems and (because O have been reading here) more users beside us. Please make a solution.

Sorry guys but I think that the HP support is the only way to solve this problem. At this point imo the problem is hardware and not a software configuration. This is my second HP laptop I need to send at their support.  😞
