    Hey guys.
    I was noticing some of alienFX led lights in my m15x are way too dim compared to ones in my m11x.
    To be specific, the Alienware logo on the screen bezel, the touchpad ring, and the keyboard are ones that are giving me trouble here. Other lights are working just fine.
    The keyboard and the touchpad can be replaced with ease, but what about the Alienware logo on the screen? which part do I need to replace?
    Any help will be appreciated!

    are you sure "dim mode" is not enabled?

    That was my initial thought, but when I enabled the dim mode it got even dimmer so I'm thinking that isn't the issue.
