Go to Solutionm18 R2, backlit keyboard time out
I recently gave my wife my M18 R2 with i9-14900HX and 4070 graphics card. She (an accountant) missed her "calc" button that was on her Dell Precision, so I figured out how to map the F4 key as a calc button using the AWCC. It does that now (press F4 and the calculator comes up), but somewhere in that process, now the keyboard and all other lighting (Alien head power key, Alien head on lid, and rear lighting) time out after a short period of time. Pressing any keyboard key brings up the lighting (but touching the touchpad doesn't do it), but only for a short time. Any idea how I did this and how I can get back the original "lights on all the time?" I wouldn't mind if the keyboard lighting timed out, but I like the Alien head power key on so I can see power status. And I don't know how to control the lighting time out. Is there a setting in the AWCC that I changed accidentally? I did change the BIOS setting for the F keys, but this should not have affected keyboard lighting time out (which in many iterations of BIOS ago for older Alienware computers used to be selectable and controllable, but is no longer a BIOS option).
Thanks!
