Hi @Matt_G1,

Good Day. Thank you for taking an interest in the HP community. I understand that you require assistance with changing the backlight color of the Envy keyboard, I will be really glad to assist you here. 🙂

Fabulous description and superb diagnosis of the issue before posting. Kudos to you for that. 🙂

First off, to assist you better, I would require more information regarding this:

• Please provide the complete model# and product# of the computer to assist you better.
• Never disclose the Serial number of the computer on a public platform.
   
• Please note that not all notebook models go with this feature of changing the backlight color of the keyboard. Only select notebook have that option embedded and it is a combination of hardware and software.
• This computer of yours should have the compatible hardware for it to change the keyboard backlight. Otherwise, it cannot be done.
• That is why I would require the complete model# of the computer to check the product specifications and the service manual for it. I have been candid about it without beating around the bush only keeping your best interest in mind.

Hope this helps. Let me know how this goes. I genuinely hope the issue gets resolved without hassles and the unit works great.

I did some research and managed to pull up the service manual for this computer. Please check this link: http://hp.care/2sFgEap So it looks like the computer came with a standard backlit keyboard but does not have the necessary hardware to change its backlight color. Please refer pages 4, 9,10 and 11 from this document. Hope this answers your question.
