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.

Then I don't know. I own the red version. You should contact to the seller for more information. Good luck!

No. Mine does not seem to have a backlight on the display in any mode or range selection I could try.

I checked online and asked how to determine if my keyboard has a back light. I pushed the Fn key and space bar at the same time and it did not enable or disable any light. I assume that there is no back light on the keyboard.

Back light can be off, low, medium, high and "breathing" mode, where it fades from brightest to dimmest and back again.I had no problems with BIOS and this is the keyboard I used to set up my last build.

I don't know what a "back lit keyboard" is. There is no kind of light displaying the keyboard.

Sounds like you have the fn lock on, its the key above the backspae inbetween f12 and insert.

Lisa Nankov's answer is correct. Some units do not respond to all functions. Mine for example is stuck on the purple backlight.... can't change it.

I bought this computer for my daughter and she said that you press the function key and the key with the little computer icon on it, hers it is the "Z" key, at the same time and the back lite comes on or off. Hope this helps.

Maybe the brightness is too low. Try to change it. There is a Pin that can change the brightness. My screen worked with a 1 V input. Good luck!

It's weird! Turn it off, then there is a little thing that sticks out on the back - press that, then turn it back on and it should switch.

Back light is toggled on/off with a button on the keyboard. As far as I know, there is no way to time it. You can customize the colors and switch them with the profile and macro keys.
