In there under input, keyboard backlight timeout. However this doesnt work. All this does anyway is change the qkeyledtimeout which we already know does work.

Are you sure? Becasue I have changed this setting in the registry and it does not have an effect on the time out.

Guys... I think we are going about this whole thing wrong; doesn't the Pro have the light sensor to automatically turn on/off the backlight? I bet you that this is where we need to pursue the issue. Maybe look under the light sensor registry, and see if there are keys there that control this aspect. I think the light sensor is for the backlight on the screen, but perhaps they are connected?

MicroP.dll appears to be linked to this somehow. I stopped that dll and the kb light stopped working until I rebooted.

You can see it in the reg under HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\KeyLight

There's also an interesting entry under You can see it in the reg under HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\KeyPad called DisableKeyLight

I ran across THIS THREAD over at XDA where someone was playing with these registry settings.

Problem is MicroP.dll controls not only the keyboard leds, but all the Led's (status's, buttons..etc)

the disablekeylight setting doesnt appear to do much on the pro that I tested and observed. Need to find what controls only the keyboard lights whether its a reg key or another module/dll.

Yeah this is one of 2 big issues I have that I'm trying hard to find a solution too. During some tweaking/testing I disabled the led's all together and had to hard reset to get them back lol.

Seems that GSM Touch Pro's respond to the QKeyLedTimeout value but the Sprints/CDMA do not. hmm

I have a feeling no2chem will have a driver for this in the near future. He released a backlight driver for the Mogul last month and was trying to figure out the kb backlight at the same time.

I searched the registry, LED dlls, and the keyboard DLL's with a hex editor and didn't find anything. This is the single most crappy thing about the phone, and it's starting to piss me off more every day.
