Dell G5 5590 no alienFX devices found

My dell G5 5590 should have a one color backlit keyboard. Some research tells me this can be controlled from the alienware command center. When I open this program I get the message shown in the picture:backlight_problem.png

What can I do about this?

Edit: There is no beyboard backlight setting in the bios.

    Last advice I received from a tech support on this issue was: 1. Uninstall Alienware Command center & Alienware OC Controls 2. Restart your device & download the latest versions from Alienware site. 3. Install Alienware Command Center first & without starting Command Center, run the installation for Alienware OC Controls. 4. Post installation restart device Should work after restart!

    Thank you for the reply but this sadly did not help.

    Maybe an interesting observation, there are no bios settings for the keyboard backlight.

    Which keyboard does the system have?  There are three:

    Base model has a non-backlit keyboard,

    Next step up has a monochromatic backlight,

    Top model has a four-zone RGB LED backlit keyboard.

    The latter two are optional.  Check the specifications of your specific system using its service tag (support.dell.com).

    I have found the problem with my laptop. As said by ejn63 the G5 5590 does not have AlienFX devices in the base form. My problem was a connector not being connected to the motherboard.

    The location of the connector can be found in the service manual to remove the motherboard.

    It is number 10 on the picture.

     

    I hope this helps you

    Cheers
