AlienFX Question

[nlaris]

So I just got my M14x about 2 weeks ago, and it came with the default blue keyboard lights. I just went to change them to red, and everything works ok, but the "ALIENWARE" text thats just below the screen doesn't work properly. When blue, it looks fine, but when I try to change it to another color it just changes to a lighter/darker share of blue/green. Blue and green are the only colors that look how they should. Anybody know if there's a solution to this?

Red


Blue


White


Yellow

If it won't change to any form of red at all then there is probably something wrong with the LED light behind it. These things use individual red, green, and blue lights to form more complex colors and it sounds like the red one is blown. You can probably contact the support center and either have it sent back to get repaired or have a tech guy come out to have it repaired. This sort of thing doesn't happen to often that I've seen so I don't know how they'll handle it.

makes sense. red is completely black and white is blue/green. I'll probably just let it be, but thanks for the help

That sucks man I hate it when FX screws up. I had problems with mine but I did a reinstall of Windows and reinstalled the drivers and Command Center and it was fine. Software is sooo finicky sometimes.

Lol, this is a hardware issue.

Concur ... hardware issue. Dead LED.

Yeah it's most likely a dead red LED. If you're willing to take chances call customer support and they'll send a technician to fix it for sure

Hells yeh. You paid for a beast. You should get it fully working. Call the tech and get him to go visit you at home.

No but there are things you can do to change it.
You could take off the back display cover and add a colored defuser to the inside of the alienware head.

Hmm, honestly, I always feel the Alienware letters colors are a bit off.
