@ishakisg,

 

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

 

How to Turn On Keyboard Backlight on HP EliteBook 850 G2:

 

The HP EliteBook 850 G2 does come with an optional backlit keyboard. To turn on the keyboard backlight:

 

  1. Locate the backlight key — It’s usually the F5 key (look for a backlight icon: 🔆 or a keyboard with light rays).

  2. Press the Fn key + F5 (i.e., hold Fn, then tap F5).

Each press usually cycles through Off → Low → High → Off (depending on your model).


If nothing happens:

 

  • Your model might not have the backlit keyboard option installed. Not all EliteBook 850 G2 units include it -it was optional at purchase.

  • Check your BIOS settings to ensure the keyboard backlight is enabled:

    1. Reboot the laptop and press Esc repeatedly at startup, then press F10 for BIOS Setup.

    2. Look for a keyboard backlight option (under “Advanced” or “Device Configuration”) and enable it -if available.


Still not working?


If you don’t see a backlight icon on the keyboard and the above doesn’t work, your unit likely lacks the backlit keyboard hardware.

 

Let me know if you'd like help verifying that.

 

Kind Regards,
