Keyboard backlight just up and quit. fn spacebar does nothing, any thoughts?
I’d try resetting the keyboard.
You can reset / clear the memory by remapping a key to QK_CLEAR_EEPROM
, then pressing that key. Note that this will erase any changes you’ve made in Via (keyboard.frame.work).
- Go to keyboard.frame.work. If this is your first time using the site, you’ll have to authorize connection to your keyboard.
- Select a key to remap by clicking on it, the key will start to slowly flash
- In the key selection area below, click on the
Special
section - Select the Any keycode, found at the bottom
- Enter
QK_CLEAR_EEPROM
and pressConfirm
- On the keyboard, press the key you just remapped
- Reload keyboard.frame.work for it to show the change
I did that, but it doesn’t seem to have fixed.
I did a couple of times, did with screen recording running the last time.
I appreciate the eyes on this. I’m going to reboot again and if that doesn’t fix, I suppose I can go the support ticket route, but I figured somebody’d seen this before.
Okay; first reboot it came back and I had trackpad but no keyboard.
I also got a rpi2040 bootloader drive that showed up.
I powered down completely, disassembled and reassembled the input deck and booted back up to a backlight.
Thanks MJ1, much appreciated!

Came back to it today and no backlight. Reset and reassemble no helping. Will have to open an support ticket and will update here if I learn anything.
Yes please, my keyboard back light also not working. The number pad is!
