Hi all,
so my problem goes like this. As long as everything stays on the Intel dedicated graphics (or cold CPU) i literally have no issues with my keyboard, BUT as soon as i start playing any game and engage the Nvidia graphics / CPU heats up my laptop keyboard (and backlight) just shuts off and no button reacts beside the POWER button.
What did i do thus far:
1. updated / reinstalled all CPU, BIOS, etc drivers to latest versions
2. Plugged in an external keyboard to see if it helps (writing here on the external keyboard)
3. Opened the laptop cleaned everything, un/replugged the keyboard didnt help ; disconnecting the battery from the MOBO helped one or twice (now not anymore), doing a CMOS reset,...
4. Uninstalling/reinstalling the ATK drivers (just got to my mind maybe just leave them uninstalled?)
How do i get my keyboard working again:
i drain the battery to approx 3-4% and send the laptop to sleep and wait for the battery to drain and then after some time the laptop resets (keyboard failure goes away - also power light shuts off)
Then I am able to use the keyboard again normally until i get the graphics/cpu heated up.
EDIT - forgot to mention the laptop is ASUS FX503VD
I would appreciate ANY input on how to solve this mystery. I read/searched online a lot but didnt yet managed to find a long term solution.
Thanks upfront! Also my apologies if i missed the appropriate thread.
Kind regards,
Kine_vu
