A:Answer Yes and No. Out of the box, the keyboard backlight does timeout after 30 seconds. However, you could set the backlight to Never, 30 sec or 3 min. To set this, you need to go to the BIOS settings by restarting your laptop and continuing pressing the F10 button until the BIOS opens. Use the arrow key and navigate to the Configuration tab and select Keyboard Backlight Timeout and then select Never, 30 sec, or 3 min. One last thing, the backlight will turn off if your computer goes to sleep mode even on NEVER setting, which should be a good thing.
