Did you read my post at 4738?? why waste your time, I laid out all test edits I made and their failures, this is not an easy BIOS to edit without it breaking.

* Edit - I found two random dumps, neither have expected variables either. Lets wait for Svan to confirm his is working or not, then I'll make you stock Mod BIOS with your NVRAM added into it, then show you how to reflash that NVRAM only

* Edit 2 - I see here, and elsewhere, this may be a common Win10 issue (along with all it's other issues) Did you just do a clean install? If yes you need to get all windows updates installed and Asus drivers (especially ATK and any KB ones),

I hope, that this is ok for you, and am sorry, that I have moved some of the contributions the second time.

@Lost_N_BIOS - @EthanWalker

Sorry i missed the keyboard backlight part. I didn't mention it because mine was dead about 1 year ago. I got accident with a big glass of coffee
My ehthernet is dead too but I don't care never use it (so it's disabled in bios) and my Blu-Ray DVD Combo is nearly dead too acting like crazy when I insert a disc

I just did a fresh install today with all the drivers (excetp pad, macro, asus mouse : they are bugged). Pressing F4 to increase keyboard backlight like crazy didn't help
(I saw some youtube videos about replacing the keyboard but seems when you buy it you don't get the backlight part)

I think it's shouldn't be related to bios. Need to test with default bios then you can be sure.

The most important Chipset and ATK driver to test that. And don't hesitate to press F4 many times and do it in the dark so it will be more easy to see if it's working.

Jus need to replace ssd with the original one and flash original bios to test If you do that flash bios with EZ Flash inside the bios (more easy and fast)

Cheers.

@Fernando

I found a previous post from you :

"You just need to insert the module named "NVMeExpressDxE.ffs". The other module named "SAMSUNG_M2_DXE.ffs" only supports M.2 connected Samsung SSDs, which do support AHCI (e.g. the SM951 AHCI) and not NVMe" (Link)

Just to clarify the G751JY from factory support Samsung SSD in AHCI (OEM SSD you got is a Samsung XP941 - M.2 PCIe - AHCI). I dont understand why @EthanWalker asked to add an M2 mod.

Sorry forgot to mention for my laptop version. 1st time I see drivers install trouble you better revert back to original bios and use your SM951 until they come back online to help.
So you can test your keyboard backlight.

@EthanWalker - my point at "Did you see my post at #" was only in reference to that I specifically mentioned all tools and all versions I tested break the BIOS, and I spent hours figuring out how to do it all properly previously for Svan....
So no need for you to waste your time trying to mod yourself it will break no matter what you do with any tool.

And yes, I know you have this issue now with your KB Backlight, this is due to how you flashed, I'm sorry but I tried to have you do it the correct way first but you wanted to do the easy way instead.
I even tried to talk Svan out of flashing that way too, check his thread and you'll see, just like in your case, it's one of the first things I tried to lead you away from doing.

Thanks for confirming it's not just a Win10 driver issue! This means 100% it's due to use of AFU + /GAN (overwrote your original NVRAM with bare stock NVRAM)

@Svan - your Ethernet is not working, and it was before? If yes, more issues due to flashing with AFU/GAN then I can only assume, this system must have MAC ID stored in NVRAM as well instead of GbE (which isn't anything we touched)
Thanks for clarifying about his SSD and this system too, so he doesn't need M.2 mod at all, I'll remove it on his fixed BIOS

Since I have FPT dumps from you both (I think), EthanWalker I know you have one posted as I checked it earlier, we can fix all this with FPT
Both of you need to flash your system with your original FPT dumped BIOS, this will put your BIOS back to square one (100% untouched). Then we can unlock the locks I mentioned before, and I make you both new mod BIOS, created from your FPT dumps, and then you FPT program those.
This is the proper way to flash mod BIOS on system that you can use FPT on, AFU is terrible and even more so it's never great to use old AFU not meant for these systems with additional use of engineering hidden flash mechanisms (/GAN)
/GAN writes 100% what you give it, so if you use stock BIOS you loose all NVRAM, board specifics like serial, UUID etc. FPT does much the same, in a safer manner, and we use it in conjunction with a BIOS created from your dumped BIOS not stock, thus all original NVRAM and board specifics are retained.

As for RST, you need to install whatever version drivers go along with V14 roms, for this info Svan will have to tell you what he's using or check the RAID Rom / EFI RAID rom threads and see which drivers go with what.

So, to get you back to square one, we are now back to what I originally wanted you to do (See post #4 here), this is the only way unless you want to order a flash programmer (CH341A = $2.60) and SOIC8 test clip with cable ($3.60) to program the BIOS using hardware programming
Same for you Svan - once you unlock those locks let me know and I will remake your mod using your FPT dump instead of stock BIOS

* Edit, you may be able to use your original dump as a source file for AFU w/GAN and use this command (BUT!!! I do suggest against use of AFU and /GAN both, but up to you)
AFU.exe file.bin /N /GAN
Reboot back to DOS >> AFU.exe file.bin /K /GAN
Reboot, check if KB Light working or not, if not >> AFU.exe file.bin /K2 /GAN

If you get errors with all the above, due to the switches (Some versions allow switch w/GAN and some do not), then try this with your stock FPT dumped BIOS and AFU >> AFU.exe file.bin /GAN

Again, I highly suggest you fix all this with FPT instead! But, the above may fix it for you
With FPT, ONLY flash a BIOS region you dumped with FPT. If you do not have one from before, then do NOTHING with FPT for now.
If you have a FPT dump from before, unlock the locks mentioned above (At post #4 now), then reboot and flash your original FPT dump back in

First, dump current messed up BIOS, in case you need to flash it back in due to error (Before any reboots!) >> FPTw.exe -bios -d currentbkup.bin
Then flash in your original BIOS region dumped by FPT before all this >> FPTw.exe -bios -f filename.bin

If you see any red size error stop, do not try to proceed and do not reboot (flash back in your currentbkup.bin made above, after that = safe to reboot if you need to) then show me image of the error so I can see command entered and error all on same screen, and then wait.
FPT will brick you board, please follow along carefully and do only exactly as mentioned, don't try this or that on your own.

@EthanWalker:
Your inserted image is not an answer to my questions.
Why did you try to install the Intel Chipset Device Software (did the Device Manager show a "missing driver" yellow flag?), how did you do it and what happened (which message did you get?)?

@Lost_N_BIOS

Hi, I have only AFUDOS bakcup. I will try the commands you said and report if it fix the keyboard backlight or ethernet . For IRST rom and drivers you can use any version before the branch 15.x.x.x

UPDATE : AFUDOS backup.bin /N /GAN keyboard backlight is back from hell (I disabled Securboot and enabled CSM) Ethernet fixed too. Yahoooo

I wait you are back online don't want to mess up everything.
