Product: HP Pavilion G 17-cd0053nb
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I want to change the timer for the backlit keyboard (now the light goes out after a few seconds). I already found how to do it (Advanced settings in BIOS) but when I open the BIOS, I don't see the Advanced settings anywhere so I don't know how to change the timer for the backlit keyboard. Can someone please help me?

Sorry, but OEMs lock out the advanced BIOS options to prevent customers from making changes to options that can destabilize or otherwise damgage the PC -- and then send it back for repair under warranty claiming they did nothing to it.

Hmmm that's too bad, because it is kind of annoying that the light goes out after a few seconds... But thank you for answering my question! It is much appreciated!
