Backlit Keyboard/Touchpad

[TRAVISKEIGHLEY]

Hello, my name is Travis Keighley and I need help turning on my backlit keyboard so I can work better at night. I currently own an HP Notebook - 17-by0062st , [edit], Product Number4AG07UA . I tried FN and F5 but it doesnt light up. Is there a program online I can download to my laptop to help me get a backlit keyboard to help me see what I'm typing at night. Any information would be highly appreciated. You can respond back here or send me an email at [edit] thank you!

@TRAVISKEIGHLEY Welcome to HP Community!

I understand that you are unable to turn on the keyboard backlight.

• To check whether your particular model has a backlit keyboard, check the F5 key to see if the backlit keyboard key  is present.

• To turn the keyboard back light on or off, press the F5  key.

You could  try one of the following methods depending on your model, to turn the backlit keyboard on or off.

• If the spacebar has a keyboard icon on the left side, press and hold the Function key (Fn) and then tap the space bar one time.

• Press the F12 key.

• Press the F5 key.

• Press the special key dedicated to turning the back light on and off.

If the keyboard backlit symbol is not available, Your laptop does not support it.
