@TEEDAWG (What up? 😉 )

Welcome to HP Forums!

I've reviewed your post and also gone through the user guide for your device, here's what I found:

Backlight is only available on select models of DV3500, that said, If you've had backlight on the notebook but it isn't working anymore, try the below steps:

"Use Spacebar" : Turns the keyboard lights on and off when pressed in combination with the fn key (select models only).

For I (Or a trusted colleague) shall follow-up on this case to ensure the concern has been addressed, and your device is up and running again, if you don't get back to us 😉 

that said, If the information I've provided was helpful,
