Area-51 R7, AW768 keyboard, problem with lighting

Hi

I have an Alienware AW768 but I have an issue with the lighting. Around 5 keys will not illuminate certain colors when I use the latest version of AWCC.

I’m running an Alienware Area-51 R7 Threadripper system.

I have also factory reset the keyboard several times with removing the usb cable for 10 seconds each time

Attached some pics so you can see what I mean, the best color is red which causes the number 8 not to light up but does fix the issue with the other keyboard keys.

That may be a hardware issue. 

Have you tried using the keyboard in a different PC to see if the issue follows the keyboard? 

You might also try plugging it into a different USB port and uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers for it.
