Hello
My grand dad (a geek) gifted me a laptop and the backlight keyboard won't change colors/turn off. I tried the old combination I used on linux (example: "Fn" + "*" to turn it off).
It was running under linux but i had it change to windows because I'm not really knowledgeable about computers.
During my researches online, I only found solutions to fix it under linux and not under windows10.
Is there any software i should download to make it work again?
I have a Clevo N151ZU Pro
Thank you
(I am sorry for my english, it is not my first language)
