what BIOS??


Yes, I wish there were a way to turn OFF keyboard backlight from
the BIOS...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS

Aptio Setup Utility
BIOS Vendor: American Megatrends
Version: 205

Looked through the BIOS, but wasn't able to find a way.

Not documented in the fine PDF manual.

Documented in a FAQ entry (and given the generic nature
of all the items in the FAQ, probably not verified on
this model of laptop either).

https://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1014790/

"Check the F3 and F4 key for any backlight keyboard symbols.
Enable the the backlight by pressing Fn and F4 at the same
time (Fn+F4)"

A guess would be (Fn+F3) to turn off, (Fn+F4) to turn on.

Good luck,
Paul

Thanks (Guru Paul), but Fn+F3 acts more like a dimmer and
is not permanent. I tried that before looking through the BIOS for
a way to disable keyboard backlight permanently.
For aluminum exterior, keyboard backlight is awful.
