Ohh, I see now, finally both pages loaded description! Doesn't help, I can't understand that language and the images do not always show what you get. If that listing included CH341A Programmer + SOIC8 test clip with cable, if those two items at least come with it, then yes that will work

That is the same link you gave me at post #7, I already replied about that above. It could be just this causing the backlight to not work, rest could be in the properly, but only way to tell is fix the ME FW first, then check, then if it's still out we'll do as I mentioned above. Once you have that, I can have you backup your full BIOS, copy out details and then put them in someone elses BIOS that does have known tested and fixed backlight and then yours will work too.Īnd this way, fixing the ME FW will be much easier too. Yes, it could be due to the source BIOS we had to use, that's why I said you need programmer. The flashes above with K and K2, may mess up BIOS settings, or BIOS in general, if that happens simply reflash again without K once you are done testing > AFU3.exe backup.bin /P /B /N /GANĪnother thing that could cause this, is the EC FW is missing or wrong, due to them erasing wrong chip first etc, this you can only check with flash programmer

If by here, backlight is still not coming on, then it's most likely due to ME FW being corrupted, only way for you to know for sure at this point is to fix the ME FW, then if issue persists I can make you BIOS with someone elses NVRAM area and we can repeat this process If not, reboot back to DOS > AFU.exe backup.bin /K2 /GAN If not Reboot back to DOS > AFU.exe backup.bin /K /GANĪfter this, repeat dance above and then check if backlight working yet or not. Then boot to windows, see if backlight is now working or not. Boot to DOS, with your BIOS backup you made previouslyĪfter that, enter BIOS, load optimal defaults, save and exit/reboot back to BIOS and make any other changes you need.

Lets see if we can fix the backlight now, then you can order and wait on flash programmer to fix the ME FW. To fix this, due to it being missing or corrupted, you have to either unlock FD via pinmod or purchase a hardware flash programmer and SOIC8 test clip with cable (price is less than $7 shipped for both those items at cheapest price/slowest shipping 3-5 weeks) This alone, may also be why your backlight is out. Here's where it should be showing, at end of motherboard section

ME FW is messed up or missing, this is why the long delay at bootup. At least they put the correct BIOS on, I suppose I should have known this or you would have said you couldn't load/apply graphics drivers
