Upgrading HP ProBook 430 G2 Keyboard to Backlit: Compatibility and Advice Needed

Hello fellow forum members,

I hope you're all doing well! I am currently looking to upgrade the keyboard on my HP ProBook 430 G2 to a backlit one. However, I have some questions and concerns regarding compatibility and functionality, and I was hoping to get some advice from the community.

My specific questions are:

1. Can I upgrade the keyboard on my HP ProBook 430 G2 to a backlit one?
2. Would a backlit keyboard from a different model (such as 430 G3, 640 G2, etc.) be compatible with my HP ProBook 430 G2?
3. If a backlit keyboard from another model could potentially work, what are the steps I need to take to ensure a successful upgrade?
4. Has anyone on this forum successfully upgraded a similar HP ProBook model to a backlit keyboard? If so, could you please share your experience and any advice you have?

I've done some preliminary research, but I couldn't find a definitive answer, so any insights or first-hand experiences from the community would be highly appreciated..
