Flashing keyboard backlighting

Since upgrading my 4 year old MacBook Pro to Lion the keyboard backlight oscillates at a rate of about 20 times per minute. Disabling backlighting in the keyboard control panel does nothing. Ideas?

Hi everyone.
I had a similar problem with my keyboard. I got it replaced, and when I started using it, the keyboard backlight oscillates at a rate of once every 2 seconds. I googled and followed a bunch of hints, specially reseting the PRAM and NVRAM without success. Since the laptop was out of warranty I decided to open it up. Aparently there was nothing wrong with it not any other components, nad surprisingly, the kb light stop turning on and off... it simply worked! However, everytime I tried to put it back in place, around one inch away from closing it, the oscillating behaviour came back, and would disappear when took it back. At first I though it could be an electromagnetic interference, but it wasnt.
Here's what was it: The guys who repaired the keyboard, left a slit in the dark tape, so the keyboard's light would shine onto the luminosity detector, creating a loop in the backlight system! A piece of scotch tape made the trick. now the surrounding of the lumi. cell are completely dark, such that it only receives light through the little whole/lens above it.
I don't know if that's the same problem, but I thought it would be good to share.

Macbook Pro 15" 2.2 Keyboard Backlight Flashes

I am hoping to get some help with a problem I am having with my keyboard backlight.
The keys flash / flicker on and off even in low light conditions.
I have tried adjusting the screen backlight down thinking that it was casting enough light on the sensor that it would toggle back and forth between low and high light.
Lights off in the room, it doesn't matter!
I even downloaded a program called lab-tick. Didn't make a difference.
The computer has Snow Leopard 10.6.2 installed if that matters.

Cleared the PRAM and put a little electrical tape around the edges under the keyboard to make sure the sensors were only reading ambient light and not keyboard light and it worked fine.

No Keyboard backlight and flashing Pixels New Yoga 2 Pro

Picked up my new Yoga 2 Pro 13 from BB last night with the i7 and 8gig of ram. Ive been waiting months for this thing to come back in stock and Im getting sad.
So far Ive noticed about 20 flashing pixels in various places in the screen. No bright or dead pixels, these guys are flickering. Some are single but I have some groups as well. They are super noticable in the LENOVO screen at boot, in GRUB while loading Ubuntu and In my black wall paper in Win8 so I dont think its a software issue. Also my Yellows are muddy as hell even with the rocket, but thats common I know.
Also I cannot get my keyboard backlight to come on. I have updated all my drivers, Im running the current bios, and Ive reloaded windows8 once already. No backlight in BIOS, Win8, or Ubuntu. Ive tried turning it on with Fn+Space, Ive tried disabling and reenabling hotkeys in the BIOS as well.
Im trying to avoid returing it as this was the last one availble in the state apparently and who knows when they will come back in stock but I wont keep a broken computer either. Any Help?

I think your right. I was hoping there would be some solution in the community thats just like " oh yea run this utility and hold your tongue to the left while you press ctrl+alt+shift+~+esc and it will turn everything back on and refresh your pixels

Early 2008 MacBookPro keyboard backlight off and fans run at high speed

Hi!
I wrote from Turkey.
My Early 2008 MacBookPro 2.40 ghz 4 gb Ram OSX Mavericks machine's keyboard backlight off and fans run at high speed; it seems an exact smc resetting problem.
So i tried the 2 ways of SMC restting procedure; both battery you can move and not, but nothings changed on the situation..
On the way for removable battery; nothing changed but on the way for umremovable battery way; keyboard backlight flashes and gone, but fans are at high speed not changed. So nothing changed.
What can i do right now? i'll wait for your advices
Thanks

Your Mac may need a new PRAM battery. Once it is over 4 years old, that often is needed.

Problems with Droid Pro keyboard backlight problem

The keyboard backlight on the Mororola Droid Pro goes out when it is totally dark ever since OTA to 2.3.3. Any suggestions for a fix (don't say battery pull, yada, yada (doesn't work), or click home twice then backspace (not a true fix, but a workaround) or rooting the phone (doesn't fix). Seems to be a software glitch. Backlight qworked well in 2.2.

Why cant Verizon pushout OTA update to fix the problem instead of making all of us come to the store for a reflash? It would make more sense IMHO.

I understand your frustration and I'm here to help.
I have researched the issue with the backlight on the Droid Pro and found that other user have had this same issue after the software update. Other users have found that performing a hard reset and then taking the phone into a store and having the device software flashed has fixed their issue with the backlight. I suggest you try the hard reset and then take your phone in to a VZW store to have flashed.
If you continue to have issues after the hard reset and flash, please post back and I will be more than happy to further assist you.

Keyboard Backlight (goofy)

Just noticed my mbp keyboard backlighting is flashing on and off independently. It's not a flicker, the light will turn off for a few seconds or maybe a minute, then turning on for a few seconds then off again. The lights will continue to do this until it goes to sleep or when I begin to type the backlights are steady.
I installed lab tick to adjust t he backlighting and other properties but that hadn't resolved it, I also cycled the mbp and wonder if maybe the last update could have caused this issue?

EDIT: I see you have a 5,5. That's a different procedure. Hang on a minute.
mbp boots after I release? Perhaps I'm missing a step?
Yes, it's a different procedure for Macs with built-in batts.
• Shut down the computer.
• Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
• On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
• Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer. Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter does not change states or temporarily turn-off when you reset the SMC.

What is the Keyboard Backlight attached to?

Hey there.
A while back I spilled some milk on my macbook pro 15" old model (NOT the unibody) keyboard and although I finally got the sticky keys issue sorted out (I spent a good 5-6 hours on my day off taking off all the keys and cleaning them, and then putting them back), the backlight of the keyboard doesn't illuminate the entire keyboard anymore.
I went to my local Apple store's genius bar and they told me that by replacing the keyboard (for a mere $150 USD), I would also be fixing the backlight. I took my macbook pro to my local MacTek, however, to compare what they would quote me for replacing the keyboard, but THEY said that in order to replace the LED light I'd have to replace the top case, and the keyboard alone wouldn't do it.
Then I take it back to the Apple store (MacTek was more expensive due to their having to order parts) and ask them about it and this time they tell me that I WOULD have to replace the top case to fix the LED, which would cost $300+. Obviously not worth it just to fix the backlight when nothing else about the top case is visibly wrong.
Then I get a little curious when I get home and do a google search for the makeup of the keyboard and find a site with pictures that show the LED IS actually part of the keyboard O_O I dunno what to believe here.
Assuming my goal is to fix the LED keyboard backlight, just what is it that I'd have to replace?

Thanks, that's exactly what I needed to know.
I'd click "solved" for your post but actually I have one more question. I took the MBP to a certified repair shop, and they order a keyboard from apple. Last week (7 days ago) they said they received the new keyboard and were replacing the old one now.
Then, an hour or two later, they called me back and told me that they think Apple sent them a defective keyboard, because now for some reason my computer "won't turn on." O_O
So I called them today and the guy just said he's waiting on the second replacement keyboard. My question is, can that realistically happen? That is, a bad keyboard causing the entire system not to be able to turn on?
(good thing I backed up before taking it to get repaired, eh..?)

MacBook Pro keyboard backlight not switching off

I recently bought a 13" MacBook Pro (2012, 2.9GHz i7) and it came with Mountain Lion preinstalled. The keyboard backlight isn't behaving as I had expected: when the "Adjust keyboard brightness in low light" option is checked, it does indeed adjust the brightness of the backlight when ambient light levels change. However even when the ambient light is VERY bright (desk lamp shining down) the backlight doesn't switch off; instead it just goes to full brightness. I understand that the backlight usually dims in dark conditions to save battery, but why would it go bright when the keyboard is fully visible without a backlight? Is there a way to make the keyboard backlight go off when there is plenty of background light and come on when the environment is dark?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Auto brightness operation usually works in the way yours is working. It is dimmer in very low light and progressively gets brighter as the ambient light increases. There are cases where this is actually helpful as in wierd backlighting situations.
You can override in the System Settings and from the keyboard "function" keys. I'm not at my MBP right now, but I think the keyboard backlighting controls are somewhere near F5 and F6.

MacBook Pro Mid 2010 13", Lion 10.7.2, keyboard backlight / ALS not working

Since upgrading to Mac OS X Lion I have had problems with keyboard backlight and the ambient light sensor. I realized that the problem seems to be caused by ambient light sensor or hardware detection issues. LCD is not auto-dimming with light intensity variation. Since then I've done a Snow Leopard clean install and upgraded to Lion with no success. Then I have done clean installs of Lion using USB Keys with versions 10.7.0, 10.7.1 and 10.7.2 and the problem persists. Under Snow Leopard everything works like a charm.
SMC and PRAM reset did not solve the problem.
When I press F5 and F6 to adjust the backlight nothing comes up on the screen.
No settings under Keyboard menu.
Any ideas on how to solve this?

Max,
I have the same model MacBook Pro as you. Have you tried erasing your internal disk, reïnstalling Snow Leopard from your grey Mac OS X Install DVD, and running Software Update to get it to 10.6.8, to see if it also misbehaves under Snow Leopard?

Problem with Macbook Pro early 2011, webcam not working in any apps and windows 7 or 8 on bootcamp, keyboard backlight not working?

Hi Guys
I recently bought a second hand early 2011 Macbook Pro 15 inch and are having 2 problems. The first is that none of the apps detects my webcam at all, the second is, i have Windows 8 installed on bootcamp but are unable to get the keyboard backlight to work in 7 or 8. The backlight works perfect in os x 10.8.5 though. I need a little bit of help guys.....

Go to Apple Menu / About This Mac. Click on More Info ... next on System Report. In the left hand column, under Hardware, select USB. The right side will show the USB Device Tree. Look through that and check for "Built-in iSight". That is your camera. If it is not listed the camera is not working.
For backlighting, try this: go to System Preferences / Keyboard. Uncheck "Adjust keyboard lighting in low light".

MacBook Pro (mid-2010) keyboard backlight lags after 10.6.8 combo update

I'm one of those who take the extra time to perform major updates on my MacBook Pro very carefully. I always perform all the permissions and disk check/repairs, typically running something tried-and-true like AppleJack. I then always use the combined updater as opposed to the delta, fully downloading and applying it in Safe User Mode. So, I never run into the typical problems. That said...
Is anyone who has otherwise had a successful update to 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro with keyboard backlighting experienced a sudden lag-time with the backlight coming on when touching the touchpad or pressing a key?
There is a definitely perceptible 1-second-ish lag I'm experiencing and I'm hoping it will be corrected quickly with either a firmware fix or an update.

Same here, although I have a MBP mid-2009.
The 1-2s lag is VERY annoying if you've gotten used to the old instantaneous light-up with previous SL.
I've fired off a bug report to Apple - here's hoping they don't just bury their head in the sand and release a fix quickly (I also hope they don't have the same bug in Lion as well, I'll be getting that soon)...

Bluetooth, iSight and Keyboard Backlight not working. Please help!

My Bluetooth stopped working along with my iSight and Keyboard Backlight. I first noticed the weird sign over the bluetooth icon, and it read "Bluetooth not available". I payed no attention to it for a while until I tried to take a picture with Photo Booth and I read "No camera found", for some reason I tried to dim the backlight on the keyboard and a blocked sign appeared under the brightness level, not letting me do anything (Later I was able to use the backlight with the LabTick app). I have tried everything. SMC, PRAM, NVRAM, logging as diferent and new users, booting in safe mode... every solution I have found on the internet has been tested by me. Then I read this about the Hardware Test solution, and surprisingly after performing the Hardware Test no problems were found! So basically my MacBook Pro (mid 2010) is not having any trouble of any sorts with anything. Then why can't I use Bluetooth, iSight or Key backlighting (which only works through LabTick). Given the fact that the hardware test shows no problems I am not comfortable with the idea of taking it to repair. There MUST be something I can actually do to fix these issues.
Does anybody have any idea? I repeat, these are NOT WORKING, NOT FOUND AND NOT AVAILABLE.

- iSight Camera (Not found by any software)
- Bluetooth (No info appears on the system profile, the icon on the menu bar is completely gone)
All three issues happened at the same time, the night before everything was working perfectly fine.
If anyone could help... please!!!
Summary:
MacBook Pro Mid 2010 (http://support.apple.com/kb/SP583) Unibody, can't take out the battery.
Solutions tried:
- Reset SMC: Turning on while holding Shift + Ctrl + Option + Power Button (This makes my MacBook forget about the battery and start up with really loud fan noise, battery icon appears with an X on it, keyboard backlight buttons work, they show brightness level on screen, but the actual light won't work, no bluetooth, no isight)
-Reset PRAM and NVRAM: Turning on while holding Option + CMD + R + P (I have waited for 2 chimes, 3 chimes and 4 chimes at different times, nothing happens. Light, bluetooth and isight are still gone)
-Holding Power Button for 10 seconds, 20 seconds, longer... nothing changes.
-Creating and logging in as new admin user, nothing changes.
-Deleting the bluetooth.plist file and powering off and on again, also rebooting
-Deleting the SystemConfiguration folder, powering off and on again, also rebooting
-Installing "blueutil", didn't help at all, turned it off via terminal with command blueutil off.
-Performing Apple Hardware Test - Shows no erros or problems on any area after one full hour of testing (Performed the extended testing)
-Leaving it powered off overnight
Please anyone help meee!! I can't afford going crazy!
Thank you so much in advance!

****UPDATE***
Hi guys i got across this forum after searching for bluetooth, front camera and the most ANNOYING no lost keyboard backligth.
After run all the test, procedures, tweeks and, and everything i remenbered that once i sent my MBP to repair at you bring i break, turns out that the little ribbon flex connector coming from the mother board ( from the rigth to left) was loose since the adhesive wich they used shrink do temp changes, anyhow y popped out the glas and found the flex cable totally sticked to the glass pulling out of the pcb board connector, reinstalled it smoothly and that FIXED the camera, bluetooth and keyboard backlight!..
thats it. hope i helped some frustraded owner.

Macbook Pro (10.6.8) keyboard backlight wont turn on

I was reading some articles to try and fix it myself but I noticed a lot of people have problems with their keyboard backlight because they have the box located in
System Preferences > Keyboard > Automatic Illuminate either checked or unchecked. I checked my keyboard settings and I don't have that box at all!
I got my macbook in 2008, 2009 so it's a slightly older version. I need help fixiing my keyboard!
It hasnt worked for awhile now but I just never noticed it.
It never turns on when it's dark either.
When I cover the camera lens the display dims so it pretty much works
The only thing I noticed that no one talked about was that when I press FN + F5 or F6, I hear that sound that indicates you can't use that option. but when I try with the FN + f1 or f2, it works just fine.

Macbook Pro 17inch late 2011 keyboard backlight not working

Recently near the end of sum me 2014 I only noticed the backlight keyboard not working at all. I have done the following to try and rectify;
1. Reset SMC
2. Rest NVRAM
3. Disconnected battery and the above
4. hardware test online, result showing no issues found.
with all outcomes proving nil. Pressing Fn + F5 or F6 does show the brightness either increasing or decreasing but with no light. I then opened her up and disconnected a cable that was to the LHS of the RAM boards but this only powers the White Sleep LED and not the backlight keyboard on this 17inch model. My next step is to remove the mother board and find the actual cable that does power the backlight LEDs and ensure that it is connected. Similarly around the same time I noticed this with the backlights the fans were running fast. However the weather has gotten cooler and the mbp is not running fans as it was when it was in the warmer months.
Do I have to remove the motherboard and actually make sure that the connector for the backlights hasn't been dislodged?
Anyone out there with a 17inch mbp late 2011 that has had this problem please help.

Thanks Ogelthorpe, I found an excellent video (not in english but it didnt matter) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HNAGodYMNA .
What I found was that the keyboard backlight is intergrated into the black plastic cover that is between the motherboard and the back of the keys/LEDS and its all one piece back to the connector that connects to the motherboard under the LHS fan. I need more details to find out if the LEDS are controlled by a chip or what, but it seems to me that I need to visit an apple store/repairer, however this will be really difficult for me as Im in an isolated location. If there are further tests that I can conduct on my own, I would be grateful. Even if there are tests that Apple themselves conduct to find out what the problem is
