Backlighting on the dv5 notebook PC?

‎12-24-2008 09:32 PM

Does anyone know if there's backlighting for the keyboard on the dv5 Notebook? I work a lot at night with no lights on and it would be helpful if there was backlighting on the keyboard.  I've googled like crazy and read the manual but found nothing.  Is it offered or do I need to buy one of those fancy USB lights? Thanks!!

Get a USB light.

 

Hope this helps.

You're out of luck on that feature for the dv5's. The only HP laptop with that feature that I have seen is the "Blue" series at Best Buy. HP had them custom made for that retailer. If you have a Best Buy in the area, take a look. You'll know which one it is since Fn-Spacebar turns the light on and off.
