Elitebook 745 g4
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, just wondering if there's a part no for a backlit keyboard for the elitebook 745 g4 or if anyone has fitted one to it. Mine has a cable for backlit keyboard but doesn't have a button to light up.

Keyboard, backlit for HP 745 836308-xx1

 

The xs depend on the keyboard language. Whole list is on p. 50 of the Manual here:

 

Manual 

 

The keyboard is a separate part fairly easily replaced. Instructions also start on p. 50. A backlit keyboard is a dropin replacement. The backlight power header is on the motherboard of all models and you connect the ribbon cable and you are good to go. Let me know if you need more help finding the keyboard to buy. English?

 

Post back with any questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

Hi thanks for your reply I managed to find it in the manual just before you sent this but thanks for the quick response I have ordered one off eBay UK version for £25 

 

Thanks again
