@omamkaz sorry, I do not know. I think Fn+SPACE was supported in firmware. Try to boot windows and see if it works there. Perhaps you have a hardware problem.

Ok, Thanks

Thanks for the many insights!
Kinda works on my ThinkBook 14 G2 ITL (20VD00CNRA)
address is 3 dec and values are 0x1c, 0x1d and 0x1e for off, low, hi, respectively.
echo -n -e "\x1c" | sudo dd of="/sys/kernel/debug/ec/ec0/io" bs=1 seek=3 count=1 conv=notrunc

How do you determine if your addresses and values are different and what they actually are?
