Is your keyboard RGB?

Yes (multi color RGB)

Additional context

No response

Does your backlight was turned on during dump? Can you disable/change level it and make a new dump? For now, looks like it is possible to control backlight levels, but I need to prove it

[brokencog]

When the laptop (MSI GE76) powers on, the keyboard backlight LEDs are on at whatever was the last color scheme configured from the Win10 SteelSeries Engine application. When grub/lilo starts the LEDs turn off. When the kernel is loaded the LEDs flash briefly, then remain off. I have used various applications (msi-ec,msi-perkeyrgb, MSIKLM and a few others) some of which flash the keyboard briefly, but do not turn on the LEDs. I have noticed that one or two of these applications will actually set the color (when I reboot, the new color scheme is visible), however the LEDs remain dark. Usually the EC needs to be reset before I can access the keyboard. I'm not sure how you want me to change the backlights, but I'll be happy to do so.

I meant that some models have a dedicated key on the keyboard to change brightness, but probably you don't have that one, if I understood correctly

Ah, I have those keys, yes.

However I haven't gotten them working.

But they work on Windows? Can you check is these keys are still working in BIOS after checking its behavior on Windows?

I found an issue which mention similar model https://gitlab.com/CalcProgrammer1/OpenRGB/-/issues/3960
