Hi @Arjun63,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to assist you.
I understand you're planning to replace the keyboard with backlit on your Laptop.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, I'm here to help you today.
Yes, it is generally possible to replace a non-backlit keyboard with a backlit version for a laptop like the HP 15s-du1064tu, but there are a few things to consider:
Compatibility: Make sure the replacement backlit keyboard is compatible with your laptop model. The connectors, mounting points, and keyboard layout should match. It's essential to verify this with either HP support or a trusted parts supplier.
Connection: Backlit keyboards often require an additional power source for the backlight, which might not be present in the non-backlit version. Check if your laptop's motherboard has the necessary connector for the backlight functionality. Some laptops may require a different internal cable or connector.
Installation: Replacing the keyboard requires disassembling your laptop. If you're not familiar with this process, it's recommended to have a technician perform the replacement to avoid damaging the device.
BIOS/Software: After replacing the keyboard, ensure that the BIOS and any related software can detect the backlight function and allow you to control it, as some models have specific settings for backlit keyboards
Please mark this post as “Accepted Solution” if the issue is resolved and if you feel this reply was helpful click “Yes”.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a great day ahead!
