m16 R1, AWCC cannot detect my device
I was trying to change the light color of my Alienhead, but somehow the AWCC cannot detect my device.

The only part I can change is the keyboard, but once I changed the rgb of my keyboard, the light of Alienhead and start-up button were turned off. I tried many methods online but unfortunately they don't work out.

I am wondering if there is a way to let me turn the light part of Alienhead and start-up button on again. Hopefully someone can help me out. Thank you and I really appreciate it!

Hi VeryNewbie thank you for sharing update.
Best Buy purchase of Alienware 16 R1 has Accidental Geek Squad Protection options, but does not include a Dell default International warranty.

Hi VeryNewbie welcome to this free user-to-user Alienware laptop discussion forum.
Was laptop purchased with Dell warranty? Please share Alienware Model and Revision number, example x17 R2. Is operating system Windows 10 64-bit, Windows 11, etc.? Which version of AWCC FX is installed? Thank you.

@crimsom Sorry, I forgot to put information here. My laptop is M16 R1 with Windows 11. The version of AWCC is 6.0.330.0 which I believe is the latest one. I bought it from Bestbuy website and it is a certificate refurbished one by DCR.

I do have the very same problem. After reaching DELL's Support, they tried everything, Flashing BIOS, reinstalling some drivers and AWCC itself, twice. No success. So they told me it's a "bug" and MAY be fixed in a - POSSIBLE -future release of AWCC....great!

Were you able to find the solution for this problem? I also have the exact same issue with my m16.

Exact same problem here. I've worked on it for a few hours trying the various suggestions and whatnot. I actually uninstalled the ACC, and tried to reinstall the full package. It's worse now. The ACC won't recognize my computer and I can't use it at all.
