4200 (set brightness to zero - redundant since it's already at zero)
First of all, your previous "code" had a 4000 at the beginning, which would set brightness to zero. You don't need to do that at the end of the sequence again (remember, it will jump back). Second, 4200 will be just a pause. Use "40xx" (e.g. 4000) to set the brightness.

You can test this when the led is already working (e.g. when the device is locked and charging) by copy-pasting this:
Code:
cd /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0032
echo "load" > engine1_mode 
sleep 1 
echo "9d80400002ff03ff02ff03ff7f007f000000" > engine1_load 
echo "run" > engine1_mode
Just open and close the keyboard to restore the led.

p.s. I tested it already

You would need to be logged in as root from the console but I really think that if you do not know how to access the file it might be quite dangerous for you to be low level tinkering as there is a real risk of rendering the device unusable.

first tip: use word please instead of lol. i could practice python and see if i manage to create an app. but even if it works some day, it'll take months before it is in extras even with best case scenario. so if someone else is interested, pm me.

A solution is actually already being worked on: mcedit

Have no idea its status or anything else, just bringing it to the discussion.

Ahh yes, you're right there. My mistake.
