Hi @MahenderSudha,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

I understand you want to turn on the keyboard backlight on your HP laptop, follow these steps:

How to Turn On the Keyboard Backlight

1. Locate the Backlight Key:
   • Look for a key with a keyboard icon with light rays (usually F5, F4, or F11).
   • On some models, you may need to press Fn + [Backlight Key].
      
2. Toggle the Backlight:
   • Press the Backlight Key once to turn it on.
   • Press again to adjust brightness (if supported).
   • If nothing happens, try Fn + Backlight Key.
      
3. Check BIOS Settings (if not working):
   • Restart your laptop and press F10 repeatedly to enter BIOS.
   • Go to System Configuration > Action Keys Mode and ensure it's Enabled.
   • Also check Built-in Device Options > Backlit Keyboard Timeout and set it to your preference.
      
4. Confirm Your Laptop Supports Backlit Keyboard:
   • Not all HP laptops have this feature.
   • To check:
     • Go to Official HP® Support.
     • Enter your laptop model number and check the Specifications.

I hope this helps.

Take care, and have an amazing day!
