On most HP laptops, you can turn on the keyboard backlight using the F5 key (sometimes it’s F4 or F12 depending on the model). Look for a key with a glowing keyboard icon. Press it once to turn the light on, and press again to adjust brightness or turn it off. If nothing happens, try holding Fn + F5. If the keys don’t respond and you don’t see the backlight icon on your function keys, then unfortunately your specific configuration might not actually include the backlit feature—even if the general specs page says so. HP sells multiple versions of the same model, and not all of them have it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.F4 but this computer does not have this feature!
