This script can install or uninstall acer turbo fan service. It means, that your turbo fan button still will be available even after rebooting.
To install service just run this script as the root (sudo) user.
After installation you can manage it as a usual service manually. Example: 'systemctl start/stop turbo-fan', 'systemctl enable/disable turbo-fan'
To uninstall service, run this script with 'remove' argument. Example: 'sudo bash ./install_service.sh remove'.
Note!!! Before removing, don't forget to switch off the turbo button because you will have forever turbo fan :)

Just tried it, that makes the lighting work again, thanks! Still no noticeable difference for turbo mode.
Is there a way to save a profile that is the same for all zones instead of saving 4 profiles, one for each zone? such as: ./facer_rgb.py -m 0 -z 1,2,3,4 -b 75 -cR 000 -cB 000 -cG 255 -save allgreen
Personally I just make scripts to color my keyboard how I want, and then make keyboard shortcuts for those scripts.

Did you find a way to save it for all zones, without relying on custom scripts ?
@Irtesaam No, my scripts serve me well enough that I don't really think about it.
@LarryTheMagicDragon Could you share how your scripts work exactly? I tried creating separate profiles for each zone and running them together using systemd, but it felt a bit messy and redundant.
This is my script to turn the keyboard blue. the & at the end of each line makes it go slightly faster, and makes a noticeable improvement.
#!/bin/bash
RED=0
BLUE=255
GREEN=0
/opt/turbo-fan/facer_rgb.py -m 0 -z 1 -cR $RED -cG $GREEN -cB $BLUE &
/opt/turbo-fan/facer_rgb.py -m 0 -z 2 -cR $RED -cG $GREEN -cB $BLUE &
/opt/turbo-fan/facer_rgb.py -m 0 -z 3 -cR $RED -cG $GREEN -cB $BLUE &
/opt/turbo-fan/facer_rgb.py -m 0 -z 4 -cR $RED -cG $GREEN -cB $BLUE &
I normally just set a static color, so creating a setkeyboard_white, or setkeyboard_amber script is is fairly quick and easy. I have a series of custom shortcuts on my keyboard to run the scripts to select what color I want, for example super+f4 sets the keyboard to white.
