Windows 10: battery & keyboard backlight misbehaving on Samsung Book Flex 15.6

Alchemist Of Life aka · Jan 10, 2021

"Greetings all.

The battery charging seems very erratic based on the indications on Windows 10 all latest updates, etc.... I left my computer plugged in overnight and the battery is just 26%; when I plug it in, I do see the symbol of the plug light up, so I know it's getting power. However, among other things, it no longer indicates the "time to full charge" which it did until a few days ago. I have not kept track of updates so I don't know what could cause this.

Separately perhaps related?, the keyboard backlighting goes off after just a few seconds and it does not come back on unless I again press the Fn 9, but then it goes out again after just a few seconds.

I have auto update on both Windows 10 and Samsung Updates.

Any assistance warmly welcome.

Peace.

:)

New Samsung Galaxy Book Flex, Galaxy Book Flex α, and Galaxy Book Ion

Over the last month, it's become clear that we rely on our technology more than ever before.

Our mobile devices keep us connected to our loved ones, coworkers, and classmates. They help us stay organized, on-task, and in-the-loop. They let us shop from bed, keep up with the news, check up on friends and family, and stream our favorite songs and movies when we need to relax.

These times have offered us a new outlook on how we use our PCs, reminding us that our computers are so much more than just productive tools for getting work done. They're also our command centers, creative studios, entertainment hubs, and so much more.

In short, it is technology that enables us to perform at our full potential and make it through the day, even when we're working from home or studying in our kitchens. That's why we created a new portfolio of PCs that can do it all, and then some - no matter who you are, where you are, or what you do.

A few weeks ago, we launched the Galaxy Chromebook - the first of its kind. This week, the New Galaxy Computing portfolio grows with the release of Galaxy Book Flex, Galaxy Book Flex a, and Galaxy Book Ion, three next-generation PCs that can do it all.

Galaxy Book Flex

Each member of the New Galaxy Computing family comes equipped with premium features that ensure you don't miss a beat, no matter where you are: powerful hardware, beautiful design, cutting-edge mobile innovations, and stunning displays that can provide an immersive, cinematic experience from the comfort of your home.

Galaxy Book Ion

But we all have different needs, so we're giving you the option to maximize what's most important to you, at a price that fits your budget. Each Galaxy Book shines in its own way, with some sporting a stunning QLED display capable of producing over a billion different colors. Others offer the latest battery innovations like Wireless PowerShare, allowing you to charge your mobile devices simply by resting them on the trackpad. Some take seamlessness to a new level, featuring PC-to-Phone connectivity features that break down that walls between your devices.

Whether you're a student trying to learn from afar, a professional juggling work from home, or a creative looking to take your work to the next level, Samsung has what you need to stay connected, productive, and entertained as we learn to navigate our new normal.

Galaxy Book Flex, Galaxy Book Flex a and Galaxy Book Ion are available starting today at Samsung.com and retailers nationwide.

CES 2020: Samsung expands computing portfolio with Galaxy Book Flex a

Prior to CES, Samsung introduced the Galaxy Book Flex α (alpha), a new variant of Galaxy Book Flex and the latest installment in the company’s new line of Galaxy Computing devices that combine the productivity and premium experience of a laptop with the mobility and flexibility of a smartphone.

It offers long-lasting battery, an immersive QLED display capable of producing over 1 billion colors and an ultra-thin bezel. The 2-in-1 PC delivers a super-bright display that allows you to enjoy the screen’s 100% color volume and vibrant picture in almost any lighting.

You can do more with up to 17.5-hours battery life* and when charging does become necessary, you’ll find its Fast Charge capability handy, as it allows topping off the battery in a pinch when you’ve got somewhere to be.

It weighs in at 1.19kg and is 13.9mm thick, so it can fit into any bag with ease, and still leave room for whatever else you need to get through the day. It has sharp, diamond-cut edges and a crisp, durable aluminum frame so it can withstand typical wear and tear.

Underneath that stylish exterior is an Intel 10th Generation processor and built-in biometric credentialing for a more secure experience wherever you are.

It’ll available in Mercury Gray in the U.S. in the first half of 2020, starting at $829.99.

* Battery life may vary depending on usage and settings.

Samsung Ativ Book 6 - Microsoft Signature version - FN keys don't work

I have a Samsung Ativ Book 6, Windows Signature version, purchased from a Microsoft retail store. (Model NP680Z5E-X02US).

Since updating to Windows 10. all of the keyboard function keys that manage brightness, volume, keyboard backlight, etc, don't work. The Samsung website doesn't even acknowledge this model exists.

I'd really like to keep using this computer, but having to go into settings just to adjust the display brightness is maddening.

Any ideas?
