Been following your post regarding your asus ux430ua. I suspect my laptop is similar. Was wondering if you could help me with figuring out my keyboard backlight as mine is not working at all. I got backlight working with ambient light sensor and brightness control but no keyboard back light. or maybe you can send me the AsusNBFnKeys.kext that EMlyDinEsh prepared for you so I can test. Also providing problem reporting files. THanks!!

hard to say;(
I just used AsusNBFnKeys.kext (you will find kext in my EFI dir in first post) and "KeyboardBacklight Patch 4.txt" in firs post too for DSDT.
After that my keyboard lights started working.

If you familiar with console logs you can turn of debug in AsusNFnKeys.kext and after pressing FN+F3/4 in console log you should see more info and next you can try to find fix on forum where AsusNBFnKeys.kext comes from.

I have UX430 and can't get my SCREEN backlight control to work using applebacklightinjector, config.plist patch, and SSDT file.

Is this code above required to DSDT to make it work? I did not see it anywhere in guides.

I meant for screen backlight control, sorry I wasn't clear. I had keyboard backlight working no problem thanks to your files.

I need to know if any patch to DSDT is required for screen backlight because I can't get mine to work.

Cheers and thanks for reply.
