my illuminated keyboard has stopped working

[bedrock22]

suddenly, my MBP (2.6ghz, 15") illuminated keyboard has stopped working. out of the blue. same conditions in the room as when it's worked before - so it's not an ambient lighting problem. the functionality is all turned on, and pressing the dim/brighten keys on the keyboard, while producing visual feedback on the screen (like the volume indicator), produces no illumination on the keyboard. im plugged in, fully charged... can't figure it out!!!

to be honest, i never really use the keyboard illumination, but now that its actually not working, its really bothering me...

any ideas?

thanks!

It gives you full manual control of your keyboard illumination.

At least you'll know for sure if youve got illumination.

I LOVE it.

thanks... i searched the forums in an attempt to solve my problem before making an original post - in my searches i came across that app, downloaded it, and installed it to no avail. :(:(

I've tried resetting the SMC, rebooting... nothing seems to be bringing my keyboard illumination back to life....

I'm having the same problem!! Although for me, it's only working on the middle of my keyboard and not on the edges.

I'm going to download that app and see what happens.
