Product: HP 14s-dk0094au
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

With the help of JB Hifi.

Bought this laptop HP 14s-dk0094au. Asked if it had backlit keyboard and was told yes.

Long story sort, it does not.

In JB description the laptop has backlit display.

Laptop was bought several months ago.

Big question -

Can you upgrade this model keyboard to backlit?

Theoretically but at significant expense and great difficulty.

 

See pp. 3-4 here:

 

Manual 

 

A backlit keyboard is optional so the header exists on the motherboard. However, the keyboard is not a single replacement part. You have to get the whole top cover and see this on p. 63:

 

The top cover/keyboard spare part remains after all other spare parts have been removed.  

 

Sounds innocent but that means to replace the keyboard you have to completely disassemble everything and then rebuild the laptop onto a new top cover from the bottom up. Not an easy task. 

 

Post back with any other questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.
