HP ProBook P4P25EA#ACB
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hello, 

 

I've got HP ProBook 450 G3 P4P25EA#ACB.

I've recently replaced my keyboard.

Replacement part No. was 827028-251

 

It is 

"Keyboard assembly - 101/102-key compatible full-pitch keyboard with numeric keypad and TouchPad scroll zone - Spill-resistant design with DuraKey coating - Includes connector cables (Russia)"

 

When I was searching for it some resellers offered me a keyboard with backlight.

So the question is -

Can I install a keyboard with backlight to my laptop if original one had no backlight?

 

Here's a picture of connectors available on motherboard

Yes the 450 G3 has an alternate, optional backlit keyboard and that port you noticed is the backlight power cable connection. 

 

See p. 20 of the Manual here:
