Hi,

Yes, it should be possible to change your keyboard for a backlit one. Now, if we look at page 45 of service manual we can find the product number of the keyboard you need. So for the backlit keyboard we see 827029-xxx  and the last three characters are the country layout you need. So, for example , the USA backlit keyboard would have part number  827029-001 

Now we can try to search with part number online:

Example:

https://www.amazon.com/Original-827029-001-837551-001-9Z-NCGBQ-301-keyboard/dp/B01M9EBZI4

or in the HP parts store in your country 

https://parts.hp.com/hpparts/default.aspx

On page 45 of service manual you can see the steps to replace keyboard.

You can also look at these HP videos for that model (click on keyboard in list on left)

Before buying new keyboard I would check if thers is actually the connector for the backlight cable on the motherboard, you can see the small cable and connector on page 47 of service manual.

Let me know if you need further help,

David
