Hi @raiyanyo21,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

If the keyboard backlight is not working on your HP PC, here are the most effective steps to troubleshoot it:

1. Confirm Your Keyboard Supports Backlighting

Not all HP desktop keyboards have backlight functionality. Please check:

  • The model number of your keyboard.
  • Look for a backlight icon (usually on the F5F4, or Spacebar key).
  • If there’s no icon, it may not support backlighting.


2. Use the Correct Key Combination

If your keyboard supports backlighting:

  • Try pressing Fn + F5Fn + F4, or Fn + Spacebar.
  • Press the key multiple times to cycle through brightness levels.

Some keyboards require the Fn key to activate the backlight toggle.


3. Check Windows Settings

  1. Go to Settings > Devices > Typing.
  2. Look for Keyboard backlight settings (if available).
  3. Adjust brightness or timeout settings.


4. Update Keyboard Drivers

  1. Open Device Manager (Windows + X > Device Manager).
  2. Expand Keyboards.
  3. Right-click your keyboard and choose Update driver.
  4. Restart your PC.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care, and have an amazing day!
