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?
