In the process of setting the laptop up, but can't work out how to activate the keyboard backlight.

If your notebook has a backlit keyboard (not every 840 G5 does), the function key to the right of the microphone mute key will have an icon with 3 dots representing keys with a 'light rays' on upper left side of the icon.

 

If you don't see that icon, then your notebook did not come with the optional backlit keyboard.

 

See the service manual, chapter 2, pages 16 & 18.
