Hello,

I have HP ProBook 450 G4 with common keyboard (no Backlit Keyboard). Now, it is time to change the keyboard because it works bad.  I would like to know if this laptop is prepared for Backlit Keyboard? (how to recognize if it is prepared)? or have i buy again keyboard without backlit?

See p. 17 of the Service Manual:

 

Manual

 

Keyboard is easily removable and replaceable and comes in backlit or non backlit versions. 

 

You are in Czech Republic so assuming you use the Czech language your keyboard is Keyboard, backlit 827029-FL1

 

The motherboard will have the header to attach the backlight cable. See item 5. on p. 47.

Seems a bit expensive. 

 

A little cheaper:

You have the idea. Search by that HP Part number. Good luck. Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

It will have an HP part number decal on it but those can be forged. Generally it will not be quite as flimsy as the knock-offs.
