Your machine is an HP Notebook - 15-ay008tx, its specs

 

           https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c05221062

 

Manual for the series:

The series does NOT offer backlit keyboard (page 4) therefore backlit keyboard alone won't work, you need a System board (if available) which has connectors for keyboard lights That means you have to buy new System board which contains


(a) Motherboard with connectors

(b) CPU with integrated video,

(c) Operating system (you can't reuse old license).


All above 3 components are on one piece of hardware called System board. You also need to buy a whole top which has a backlit keyboard, not just keyboard alone.

 

Well, buying new machine would be ending up cheaper.

 

Regards.
