Not every laptop has a backlit keyboard. Check your listing or the maker's specifications for "backlit keyboard".
Turn it on
Press the key with the keyboard-light icon. Press it again to cycle through brightness levels. If nothing happens, hold Fn and press it.
| Brand | Usual shortcut |
|---|---|
| Dell | F10, or Fn + F10 (some models use F5) |
| HP | F5, F9 or F4, depending on the model |
| Lenovo ThinkPad | Fn + Space |
| Microsoft Surface Laptop | F1 |
| MacBook | F5 and F6, or Control Centre > Keyboard Brightness |
Light turns off too quickly? Change the timeout:
- Dell: in the BIOS, under Keyboard Illumination or Keyboard Backlight Timeout
- HP: in the BIOS, under Backlit keyboard timeout
- Lenovo: in Lenovo Vantage > Device > Input > Keyboard backlight
