Hello ElyMayor,

I understand you would like to upgrade both your Dv7’s to have backlit keyboards, is that accurate? I will assist you with finding the necessary information.

Neither laptop has the chance to be upgraded with a backlit keyboard. Checking the services guides for both computers, they do not show the keyboard available. Also looked at the HP PartSurfer and the parts were not available there as well.

When upgrading the keyboard the motherboard as to have the additional plug specifically for the backlit keyboard. Normally that connection is right next to the main connection the keyboard plugs into.

Please respond back at your earliest convenience.

Thanks
