M18X-R2 lighting problem & Media button

[Auron111]

Bought my M18X-R2 of Ebay really loving it and works perfectly except for some of the Alien FX lights.

For a while the left speaker light was working but rather dim compared to the right speaker, now it no longer works but sometimes when booting it comes on like it should but goes dead again.

The macro keys also do not light up only number 5 lights up properly. I can clearly the LED's are on under the other macro buttons but like the speaker they are very dim compared to button 5.

Finally when using the media button for WiFi I end up having to press rather hard to get it to work. The other buttons on the other hand only need me to press a little before feeling a little "pop" ( sorry is this is confusing ) Is this normal or does the media board need replacing ?

speaker LED: probably dead, could also be a connection problem

macro keys: could also be a connection problem

media board: i am pressing harder than the keyboard but not like how you described it

you could try to disassemble your laptop (with the help of a guide) and see if the cables are properly connected but be careful you can damage a lot!
