The backlit keyboard is an option on this series.
Note the description -- this means the Notebook must be disassembled to replace the keyboard.
Keyboard replacement is not a novice level task.
Depending on your skill level,
Consider: Take the computer to a competent laptop hardware technician to have the keyboard replaced.
