Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
I own a used EliteBook. I bought this on eBay not too long ago, and it is no longer under warranty. Windows 10 Home (64 Bit). I am pretty sure this device is supposed to have a backlit keyboard however, I have never been able to get this to come on (or to actually work?). I also own a newer HP laptop which also has a backlit keyboard. It is easy to turn that on, on the other device ....... I believe it is the F5 key. But not the case on this other one (the EliteBook).
If the backlit keyboard even works, how would I turn it on ........ and if it doesn't work on this device, is there a driver update I can install to fix the issue?
Thanks!
