Works well then I brought leopard and done a clean install and combo updated to 10.5.8 and now the keyboard doesnt light up anymore?? is this a bug? I cant find any keyboard firmware updates or anything...


Thanks for you help 🙂

Well this is actully really weird because I did a fresh install of Leopard 10.5.1 did a combo update to 10.5.7 and the keyboard worked! Then when you leave it in a high "light" condition area the keyboard turns off, and when you try and adjust the brightness it says it cant recognise the keyboard illumination feature. Then you close the lid and leave it for an hour, come back and the keyboard works again, THIS IS REALLY WEIRD LOL
