    Please use punctiations as it makes it so much easier to read.

    Also, what kind of light are you talking about? There are a lot of lights on a computer like power button, hard drive activity indicator, display backlight, keyboard backlight and alienware's lighting system on its lid, touchpad, alienware logo on bezel and it's corners.

    Id start by installing alienware fx (light controlling utility) first.

    Im on a phone im not used to typing since im at a business thing. So please excuse my grammar, basically all the alienwarefx lights the alienhead keyboard trackpad logo side lights and front lights not of them light up unless its at start or when you change the colors then its just for a couple seconds they come on and its straight back off.​
