Our Asus K72Jr laptop did not come with a backlit keyboard. If I purchase this replacement, will the the back light function work on our computer?

Probably not, because the keyboard with backlight has a second ribbin cable to support the backlight. If there is no connection for the second cable in your computer, it will not work.

Depends if your laptop have an adapter for that thin yellow cable. I have a G73JH. I hope it fits mine.

Hello, yes it will, and it's actually very easy to pop the keyboard out, make you connect both the large thin strip connector, and the small thin strip connector (back-lit power source) good luck..

I'm sorry i must retract my previous answer, somehow i read 73 not 72, the 72 most likely won't work, easiest way to find ouy, pop the current keyboard out and look for a small white connector to see if it has the power connector available for the back-lit.. Good luck.

To my knowledge only their gaming laptops are backlit. I wish Asus was petitioned to add a backlit keyboard to all their higher end products.

Sorry for the delay, Sidney. Yes, it has a keyboard which seems to stay lit after reboot until the machine is put to sleep. Waking it up again will not restore the lights until your next reboot. I haven't found a solution for this issue yet, but don't find it very bothersome.

I just got his laptop and yes it does have a back-lit keyboard. The back light is red on black keys with white lettering. Looks pretty awesome.

No backlit keyboard. I do like how the screen doesn't dim if the laptop is not plugged in. There are alternative ways to lighting a keyboard that span from DIY to purchasable additions.

I'm sorry with the information you provided, I cannot tell you. There should be more numbers. I would suggest that that you perform a websearch and type "replacement keyboard" for "ASUS" and include the "entire model number" followed by the word "laptop". You can perform the same search on amazon. I suspect that your keyboard is one of these:

No the keyboard is not backlit. I only know of Dells being backlight. This one is not a touch screen and does not have keys that you can see in the dark. I heard that it is made in Thailand, but I do not know if that is true. I have had it for 6 months, and have already had a few problems with it... the text on one side sometimes disappears, but his only happened while in facebook, and the mouse is hypersensitive all the time, and sometimes you can be typing an email or filling in an online application, and the screen just drops right in the middle of your typing for no apparent reason several times so you have to go looking for it to see where it went before you can finish and send the email. The email screen usually pops up when the screen drops, and I can't close it out. That frequent cloudlike disappearance can be very frustrating at time.

Nobody responded in the last week so I'll provide an update myself (Boomer). I purchased the cheapest lighted keyboard I could find (not the Saitek) to test it with my KVM switch. Bottom line: everything works great. I thought if the light caused the switch not to operate properly, I could just turn the light off when activating the switch. In fact, that wasn't necessary (at least for the keyboard I purchased).

I know it has back-lit keyboard when it's plugged into power source. Couple of times when I used the computer powered by battery only, I noticed that the backlighting did not come on.

The light is suppose to turn on automatically when your computer is on and the keyboard is connected . If light doesn't turn on then that means the keyboard is probably defective, hope this helps

I bought the GE70 20C expecting the backlit keyboard option but unfortunately, I think it only ships with the GE70 20E (http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GE70_2OE.html#hero-overview).

The battery life really depends on your screens brightness and what your doing on the internet. Watching videos or downloading things will drain the battery more then just posting on facebook or doing research. As for the keyboard, no it doesn't have a backlight which, to me, is the only thing I see wrong with it besides the touch pad. Not sure if its just mine but my touch pad doesn't work properly. Other then that, its a great laptop, im completely satisfied with it.

Sounds like it's not the right keyboard for your laptop. My keys are not lit, but if the only difference is lighted keys vs non, I would try it and just not connect the power plug, if it's just power it might work.

I never got a chance to put mine on. The computer was stolen. I replaced it once before and believe it is the complete deal. I didn't notice a backlight when I removed it. I still have mine but no where to put it.
