Adding Backlit Keyboard in 17-CP3005DX

[PhreakyPhillip1]

I have a 17-CP3005DX and I want to change my keyboard to a backlit keyboard.  Part # for my non-backlit keyboard is N39375-001 (TOP COVER NSV WITH KB SGY US).  I've found a possible backlit keyboard and the description is "Top Cover Upper Case Palmrest with US backlight keyboard for HP 17-CP 17-CN N39376-001 Silver".  In this description where it says it's for a HP 17-CP does that really mean it's for all HP 17-CPs, including mine?  The replacement part # is one digit off, a 6 instead of a 5 on the original non-backlit keyboard.  In a way I guess it seems like the correct replacement part #, but I'm a little skeptical.  HP PartSurfer has N39376-001 TOP COVER NSV WITH KB SGY BL US...the BL for BackLit I guess???

Thanks for any help with this!

Hi @PhreakyPhillip1,

Welcome to the HP support community.

You're correct in noting the difference between N39375-001 (your current non-backlit keyboard) and N39376-001, which is listed as a backlit version. And yes, in HP’s part naming, “BL” typically refers to “Backlit.”

While both part numbers are extremely similar, not all HP 17-CP series devices are wired to support backlit keyboards, even if the physical part fits. Some motherboards don’t have the connector or power line for the backlight function to work.

To give you an accurate answer, we’ll need your PC's Serial Number. So please do reach us via Private Message.
