Subject: Inquiry Regarding Keyboard Backlight Activation

hi everyone

I hope this message finds you well. I recently purchased a  HP Laptop 15-fc0xxx, and I'm quite pleased with its performance. However, I've encountered a challenge with the keyboard backlight – I can't seem to find a way to turn it on.

I've checked the user manual and scoured the settings menu, but the solution eludes me. I understand that the keyboard backlight feature is available on this model, and I was hoping you could guide me on how to activate it. The backlit keys would greatly enhance my typing experience, especially in low-light conditions.

I appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter. If there are specific steps or settings that I may have overlooked, kindly provide guidance. Your prompt attention to this concern would be highly valued.

Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards,

Dequan

@casualdequan, 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!  

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding Keyboard Backlights! 

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.  

It's great to hear that you are satisfied with the performance of your HP Laptop 15-fc0000 series. If you’re having difficulty activating the keyboard backlight, here are some steps that might help:

1. Check Keyboard for Backlight Key: Many HP laptops have a backlight key on the keyboard. It is often found on the function keys (F1 - F12) and can be identified by an icon resembling a glowing or illuminated key.

2. Using the Function Key:

   • Typically, you need to press and hold the "Fn" key (located on the bottom row of the keyboard) while pressing the backlight key.
   • For example, if the backlight icon is on the F5 key, you will need to press "Fn + F5".

3. HP Software:

   • Some HP laptops may enable keyboard backlight settings through the HP Support Assistant or HP Command Center software that comes pre-installed on your device.
   • Simply search for these applications on your device and explore the available settings.

4. BIOS Settings:

   • In some cases, keyboard backlight settings might be controlled through the BIOS. To check this, follow these steps:
     1. Turn off your laptop.
     2. Turn it back on and immediately press the “Esc” key repeatedly until the Startup Menu is displayed.
     3. Press “F10” to enter BIOS Setup.
     4. Navigate through the tabs to find any keyboard or backlight settings (this can vary depending on BIOS version).
     5. Enable the backlight if it is disabled.

Hope this helps! 

Take care, and have an amazing day!
