Dv6-6c35dx installing backlit keyboard

I recently purchased a refurbished dv6-6c35dx and I am very satisfied with the laptop.
I have upgraded the Ram, gotten an extended battery and upgraded to add bluetooth.
The ONLY thing that I am missing to complete it is a backlit keyboard. I have 2 main questions:
1. Does the motherboard on the dv6-6c35dx have the ability to install a backlit keyboard? And if it doesnt, is there any way around this?
2. What is the part # and price?
Thank You!!!

Bluetooth and a backlit keyboard are two completely different things since Bluetooth is added by just installing a different card into an industry standard slot.
Backlit keybords have a separate connector for the backlight and your motherboard either has the socket for the backlight connector or not.

I am not the only one to have this opinion BTW:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware/Where-can-I-buy-a-backlit-keyboard-for-an-hp-dv6tqe-6...
I would remove the keyboard and look to see if there is another connector which is not currently being used. It would be approximately where the connector for the dv6-3000 backlit keyboard would fall...right next to the zif connector for the bigger ribbon cable...see the picture in the eBay auction.

Availability and Fitting of backlit keyboard to Envy DV6 - 7331SA

I've an Envy DV6-7331SA which works just fine.
I'd quite like a backlit keyboard.
Googling around it seems that backlit keyboards are available but
1. Is this just a simple replacement. I presume the keyboard comes with the backlight cable and there is already a socket for it on the mobo? or what?
2. I can find various foreign and US keyboards but dont seem to be able to find a UK backlit keyboard.
- Is this available
- What is its part No.
- where can I get one

Satellite A500 PSAM3A - Can I install a backlit keyboard?

Hello,
i have a Toshiba Satellite A500 laptop with the following numbers i can find: P7350 part number PSAM3A-04200E serial number- 79365650K.
I would like to install a backlit keyboard onto it,
Is this model compatible?"

Hi
Satellite A500 PSAM3A-04200E seems to belong to Toshiba Australian notebook series.
In order to use a backlit keyboard, the motherboard needs to provide a special connector/port for keyboard illumination cable.
You could get some details from a Toshiba ASP in Australia

But I found some parts retailer and many of them provides keyboards W/O BACKLIGHT

Can I Replace a Keyboard(Non-Backlit) with Backlit Keyboard in my HP Pavilion DV6 3217TU Laptop.??

Hello All... My name Pravin and I own a HP PAVILION DV6-3217TU Laptop couple of years ago.
Well, when I visited a near by HP Customer service center for the replacement of some components in it, the HP Technician has told me that My HP PAVILION DV6-3217TU Laptop is compatible for the up-gradation with Backlit Keyboard as he found the required sockets available for a backlit keyboard on my laptop's Mother Board. I felt pretty happy to hear about that, as it sounds real cool for the guy like me who works mostly at night time...
PLEASE CAN ANYBODY CONFIRM THAT MY HP PAVILION DV6-3217TU Laptop IS COMPATIBLE FOR THIS UP-GRADATION, IF COMPATIBLE, DOES ALL THE KEY STROKES WORKS FINE AS THE PREVIOUS ONE.???
Hope I hear a good news about it from the great experts here..^_*
Thanks In Advance..
Regards..
Pravin Jay.

Backlit keyboard for dv6-3322el

Hello,
Can I replace my dv6-3322el standard keyboard with a backlit keyboard?
I saw that on the logic board is the connector for a backlit keyboard. Which keyboard model could be compatible for my laptop?
Thank you,
Marco.

Hi,
I'm sure of what I'm saying.
On my logic board there is the connector for the backlit keyboard.
It 'also a connector for the fingerprint reader and one for a touch screen!
I am attaching two photos where you can see the connectors I'm talking about.

Apple does make these, but they are not sold everywhere. Where are you located?
Nobody in these forums represents Apple or any store, so to find out whether you can buy a particular product you will need to contact stores directly yourself. In the US you can sometimes get unusual keyboards by talking to an apple retail store and asking for a special order.

Having trouble finding a driver/utility for backlit keyboard

I did a fresh install of Windows 7 and have come across a utility that I cannot find, its for the infrared sensors near the webcam that detects if you are near the computer and turns the backlit keyboard off if you are not sitting in front of it.

Amazon has the OEM standard and extended batteries for your phone:

I just got this laptop and sadly it didn't come with a backlit keyboard. I was wondering if it's possible to replace my current keyboard with a backlit?

Error with backlit keyboard

Hi guys.
I recently have some problems with my Macbook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)
The keyboard light is turned off and I can't adjust the light brightness of this because F5 & F6 doesn't work.
I go to System Preferences> Keyboard and I can't find any option about illuminated keyboard, just disappeared of my mac.
I recently installed Lab Trick to see if I can manually use the light settings on the keyboard, but it shows me the following error "Your Macintosh does not seem to have any available backlit keyboard."
I tried resetting SMC, PRAM. But the problem continues.
I haven't opened the mac yet.
There will be some sensor cable disconnected?
Will be necessary to carry warranty?

Hi,
I have the same Macbook Pro as you, and here is a picture of my Keyboard settings.
I don't know why the bottom part of yours is blank. Maybe you can try this. Check the box for Use all F1, F2, etc. and then use the fn key on your keyboard together with F6 to see if it will bring up the brightness.
Has your System Prefs Keyboard settings always been like this?

10.9.x no backlit keyboard with FileVault 2 enabled

I adopted 10.9.x (Mavericks) from 10.6.x (Snow Leopard) several MacBook Pro's 13" and 15" a like, with or without retina displays dating from 2010 to 2014.
In 10.6.x even with FileVault enabled when you first boot the computer the backlit keyboard would illuminate so you could see to enter your password to login. After adopting 10.9.x this behavior changed, now when you boot the computer the backlit keyboard remains dark making it difficult to see the keyboard in a dark room. Only after entering the password then the backlit keyboard will begin to illuminate as the desktop is being introduced.
This will occur no matter if any 10.9.x is freshly installed on a bare drive or when preforming an incremental update (i.e. 10.9.4 to 10.9.5).
To me this doesn't make any usability sense since why not illuminate the keyboard when the computer is booting as it did in the past. I've submitted feedback to Apple engineers, spoken with the Genius Bar staff, even looked for a reasonable explanation on-line in several forums without success.
Perhaps someone here can shed some light on the matter and/or offer a work around or solution to this problem.

Sorry for the delay in responding...
I do appreciate your comment and trying to help OGELTHORPE, thank you.
SMC reset has proven not to make any difference on a variety of battery non removable MacBooks Pro's, some with Retina display's others without.
I feel this is an oversight in Apple's R&D and Q&A teams and not part of their regression testing. I've reported this matter to them since the introduction of FileVault 2 yet they have chosen to do nothing about it.
Last week in one of the Apple Stores I encouraged one of the staff to enable FileVault 2 on a 15" MacBook Pro floor/display model so we could test this. This model had OS X Yosemite 10.10.0 installed. It yielded the same result, no backlit keyboard after FileVault 2 as enabled. I presume R&D isn't concerned about this since Apple's primary focus seems to be on iOS which doesn't have backlit keyboards.

MacBook Air - workaround/fix for missing backlit keyboard?

What is Apple's work-around for the monumental screw up of removing the keyboard backlights in the latest version of MBA?
How do we return unit(s) for repair?
What is the Apple Service Bulletin number for this procedure?
Can Apple install the correct keyboard for free?
What is the service RMA policy for the tens-of-thousands of furious customers who found this out AFTER they purchased it?
Can we buy a version 1 MBA (which has a proper backlit keyboard) and swap the keyboards?

Pavilion dv6-6c35dx - Sound not working after a HP Support update

Pavilion dv6-6c35dx with windows 7
I recently did a factory reset, and with the reset had to do all the updates. One of those updates from the HP Support assist was IDT High Definition Audio CODEC version 6.10.6381.0 on driver stwrt64.sys. And with that update i no longer have sound. When i put the cursor over the sound icon on the toolbar it says no headphones or speakers are plugged in. I already tried disabling and re-enableing the AMD HDMI output audio device through the control panel menus, didnt work, also it says its not plugged in. When i go into the hp supprt assist, to troubleshoot, to audio and sound, the status on the IDT says Error(52).
How do i fix this?

Hello everyone,
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
It would appear that you two are experiencing different issues. I will definitely address both of you!
First, I feel it would be wise to perform a System Restore. You can return the computer to a point before the issue existed. Here's how to do it: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7)
If that doesn't work, then look at the below suggestions:
*Before any real troubleshooting, please put your computer in a clean boot state. This should prevent third-party programs from interfering. This document provides information on how to do it: How to perform a clean boot in Windows*
*Next, unlock a new Administrator account, so we can troubleshoot on a clean account. Open Command Prompt as Administrator, and hit Enter after typing the following: net user administrator /active:yes
You will be able to log out of your current user account, and log into the Administrator one.
*Finally, make sure all of your Windows updates are complete:
1. Open "Windows Update" in Control Panel.
2. Click "Settings", and then click "Install optional updates".
3. Next, click "Check for updates".
If that step doesn't work, then look below for the appropriate troubleshooting:
@epicness50 , you need to perform all of the steps in this document: No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7)
Also, since there is a Device Manager Error 52 issue, you may want to look here for additional information and suggestions: Code 52: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device
*The above Microsoft document is for Windows Vista and Server 2008, but the troubleshooting can be done in Windows 7.
@LENNY12 , you mentioned you uninstalled and reinstalled Support Assistant. However, I'm going to ask you to do it again, but with a little more troubleshooting to address what could be causing the issue.
Source of the troubleshooting is my own post: HP Support Assistant Windows 8.1
Uninstall your version of Support Assistant in Control Panel, Programs and Features, then restart the computer.
Solution: Download Support Assistant from its own special home
1. Click on the following link: HP Support Assistant. It will bring you to the following page:
2. Click on "Notebooks, laptops, netbooks " under "Download HP Support Assistant". It will prompt you to download it. So save it, then run it AS ADMINISTRATOR.
If either of you are still experiencing issues, I would perform a System Recovery to reinstall Windows. This will rule out which of the above options are to blame.
First, you should backup your data. I will provide information on how to do that: Backing Up Your Files (Windows 7)
Once this is done, it is safe to do the System Recovery. Here is some information on how to do this: Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7)
Thanks and have a great day!
Mario
