Hey @GrocerJim

 

Thank you for your response

Thank you for your response.  The map photo of keyboard you provided does not match my laptop for the function keys.  F4 is for multiple display options.  Please note the F5 is blank and honestly never seen a blank function key before.

 

Any other troubleshooting tips?

 

 

Thanks,

Rob

Hey @GrocerJim,

 

Thank you for your response

 

It looks like the keyboard doesn't have a backlight option in the function keys. If that's the case, it's possible that the keyboard doesn't actually have a backlight feature.

Just to confirm, was the backlight working previously? Did you notice any backlight at all before?

 

Let me know, and I can guide you to a better solution.

 

Take care and have a good day.
