HP OMEN 15-dc1052nr
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

I have the 4 zone lighting. I have had my laptop since last June ( HP OMEN 15-dc1052nr ) with very few or minor problems I couldn't troubleshoot.  Just in the past few days I started experiencing an issue with WASD key lighting. Every part of the keyboard lights up so the lights are working and it doesn't seem like a hardware issue. However, those specific keys are changing color. I can trigger it sometimes when I hit the "A" key, but they also are  just randomly flickering the wrong colors on their own without me hitting any keys at all. This is very distracting. I have tried:

 

  • Restarting with all peripherals disconnected
  • Updating drivers
  • Uninstalling all keyboard related drivers with all peripherals disconnected and then restarting again. 
  • Changing colors back to default ( they still change to a different color)
  • Trying a different range of colors( it always will find a correspondingly different color to change to, though it does stay constant with whatever secondary color it chooses)

 

I do not recall installing anything since this started 2 or 3 days ago... with the exception of two BIOS updates ( it's on f.16) that the laptop pushed on its own. I would guess that maybe this has something to do with it as I'm not sure what else it could be, but I'd rather not mess with the BIOS if I don't have to... I get really nervous flashing it.

 

Thanks for any help! I love my laptop otherwise.
