Is there a hack where I can replace my keyboard with an illuminated one. I realize I would first have to find an illuminated keyboard that fits but then I would have to find somewhere to tap into a power source. Any suggestions. Thanks

Hi,

 

No hack and you need new motherboard, must be very expensive upgrade. Suggestion: sell this machine and buy a different one with backlit keyboard or try

Regards.

Note: I actually have 2 of those because many of my laptops don't have backlit KB. One of my HP machine has built-in light which sits next to the webcam.
