Jumper EZBOOK X4 back lit keyboard

tamo · 11 Nov 2018

Hi 10 members .

I wanted to ask if any of you have knowledge or heard about the laptop called JUMPER EZBOOK X4 .

This is a Chinese brand and I bought it for my wife's Christmas .

Here is the issue : The back lit keyboard has to be switched on manually by fn+space ( it has 2 lighting levels ) and once on it STAYS on until I switch it back of by fn+space . Now ! I have many years experience with both laptops and desktop hardware and very familiar with the windows 10 power settings so unless I am missing something this is how this laptop is meant to be . I have never came across this set up . What I have always saw is the back-lit keyboard going off after a period of inactivity then comes on with a trackpad swipe or any key stroke . I have scoured the web for "jumper" support thinking there could be a driver or app to DL with no luck .

Any one got an idea ?

Thanks

It is built into the bios, no driver needed. Some will disable the backlighting to save battery life, even if on wall power.

Nudge what? The keyboard backlight feature is built into the unit's bios. There is zero software to control it. When on battery, the backlight will be kept off to help save battery life. When on power, it can be turned on, same as on battery if need be.
