Welcome to the HP Community --

 

The backlit keyboard is an OPTION on this model series.

Not all computers ship with the option.

 

How-to document

If your computer has a backlit keyboard, look the for Special / Action Key to switch on the backlit keyboard feature.

 

Open

Example - Backlit Keyboard - HP Laptop 14_fqxxx

Action_Keys_Backlit_Keyboard_HP_14_fqxxx_1Action_Keys_Backlit_Keyboard_HP_14_fqxxx_1

 

Next,

If your computer has the Backlit keyboard installed in the hardware

and

If your computer has a Synaptics Touchpad,

(then)

Check Device Manager > Mice and other pointing devices

Right-Click on Properties > Tab Driver > Ensure the Driver is current

 

For example

Software and drivers for HP 14 inch Laptop PC 14-f1000 (2L1A9AV) 

Operating System = Windows / Windows 11

All Drivers > Open All

Open Section

Driver-Keyboard, Mouse and Input Devices

 

Synaptics Precision Touchpad Filter Driver 

Description:  This package provides the driver that enables the Synaptics Precision Touchpad on supported computer models using a supported operating system. For systems that support the backlit keyboard feature, the driver enables keyboard backlit wake-up.
