My keyboard is lit whenever my motherboard had power. You may need to contact the company for an rma for a bad keyboard.

Did you read the instructions? You press the funtion key on the right side of the space bar and the escape key. There are 4 different modes, off, dim, bright, and flashing

Function key + the illuminated key. The function key is next to your right ctrl key.

You may have to check the bulbs, mine came working out the box but on other sites I have read that this keyboard may come with faulty bulbs, hope this helps.

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

Yes, the keys light up. It's a feature you can also turn off if you want to conserve battery, but it's awesome. It's one of the reasons I bought this laptop.

As soon as you plug the cable into a USB port, the LED lights will come on. The keyboard draws its powerfrom the USB port. It the keys don't light, you have a bad keyboard.

Mine is not backlit and the F5 key didn't "turn on" the backlit keyboard option (as another poster mentioned). My F5 key turned the mouse off and on.

I'm not sure but when the keyboard lights up, I can see all of the keys perfectly in the dark. Hope this helps!

Hey there buyer. As Endres and Sancho have said previously, the only lights that are on the keyboard are in the usual place in the top right of the keyboard for the num lock, caps lock, etc. lights. They are blue in color, and to be honest, I did not really find them too distracting or too bright. I'm in a relatively well lit room, so it's probably just environment. And the entire keyboard does NOT light up, it's just the top right corner.

The letters on the keys do light up as well. There is a light button to turn the light on/off and adjust the brightness.

Larry, was the unit charged up? There is a port on the keyboard's side near the on/off switch (switch should be in the on position) and the blue light should be on so keyboard can communicate with notepad....good luck..if no blue light, keyboard must be off or not charged...Kev.

No, keyboard is not backlit, but when you open it the screen gives off enough light to see the keyboard.

The keyboard is not backlit. I touch type and know where the keys are but on occasion when my husband uses it he just tips the screen down a little and the light of the screen is sufficient to see the keys.

Hi Ron, The first thing I would do is make sure the keyboard is fully charged. If the red light is on then you need to recharge the keyboard. If the light is blue (charged) I would make sure the bluetooth feature is enabled. You would do that by checking your settings. Once those two things are working properly you should be able to use it again if it worked before. Good luck with that!

I think your asking about the backlit board? To turn the keyboard light on and off hit the f5 button.
