Hi @Yashbararange14,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

Upgrading the keyboard on a laptop, especially to add a feature like backlighting, can be quite challenging and may not always be feasible. Here are a few points to consider.

• Compatibility: Keyboards for laptops are often designed specifically for the model they come with. While some laptops might have variants with backlit keyboards, not all models are designed to accommodate them. You'll need to ensure that the backlit keyboard you're considering is compatible with your specific model (HP Notebook - 15 15-BS145TU in this case).
• Physical Fit: Even if you find a compatible backlit keyboard, it's essential to check if it physically fits into your laptop's chassis. Laptop designs are often very compact and precise, so a keyboard from another model may not fit properly or align correctly with the screw holes and connectors.
• Connectivity and Control: Backlit keyboards typically require additional connections for power and control. Your laptop must have the necessary connectors and circuitry to support these features. Without them, even if you manage to fit the backlit keyboard physically, it may not work as intended or at all.
• Warranty and Support: Opening up your laptop to replace components like the keyboard may void the warranty, so it's crucial to consider the potential implications before proceeding with any upgrades.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
