Sooooo, I bought a renewed laptop and I'd like to turn off the backlit keyboard. I already tried the key combination Fn + F3 but It didn't work. Does anyone have any ideas? Maybe I need to enter into BIOs?

You didn't provide any info regarding the model of the laptop you bought but most HP laptops made in the last few years use the F4 key to turn on and turn off the backlit keyboard.

 

The F4 key should have a keyboard icon with 'light rays' above the icon.

 

Pressing the F4 key should turn the backlight on, pressing it again may make it less bright and pressing it again should turn it off.
