Help: pb g4 15": change normal keyboard with backlit one

Hi,
I've got a pb g4 15" 1.33ghz with a normal keyboard (no backlit). I'd like to replace it with a backlit one. Do you know if it is possible? Ok, I don't care about the ALS; it is enough to drive backlit with f8 f10 keys. I understand the my pb has no ALS sensor.
Thanks for the help

Hi Roberto
Welcome to the Discussions.
Yes, it is possible to change the keyboard, go to www.pbfixit.com - where you'll be able to buy the keyboard as well.
I do not know how the F-keys will function - but someone in here should know...
Regards

    Dear Customer,
    Welcome and Thank you for posting your query on HP Support Forum
    It looks like you are trying to replace the notebook keyboard with a backlit keyboard if its possible
    We will surely assist you with this issue
    As far as I know its only the top end models have that premium backlit feature. This is a Envy notebook feature and
    we cant have the same backlit keyboard on a entry level notebook. You should also know that Notebooks are not open architecture like desktops, we cannot mix and match parts just as they can with the desktop PC environment.
    We need to check if backlit keyboard feature is listed for your notebook in the service and maintenance guide or not.
    If it is listed there is a chance that you can go for it. Its just that the motherboard has to have the ZIF connector for the ribbon cable that provides power to the backlight.
    Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again

    Keyboard with backlight feature is available in few layouts, the part number would be similar to 698951-xxx.

  • Replacing w530 US keyboard with UK one

    I have bought a w530 in the US and wish to replace the keyboard with a proper UK one. The original US one was not backlit - can I just replace with a UK backlit one? Is the backlighting built into the keyboard?
    Does it matter which I buy of these two? :-

  • Replacing Nonbacklit Keyboard with Backlit Keyboard

    I am considering replacing a nonbacklit keyboard with a backlit keyboard on a T530. The hardware maintenance manual does not seem to show any difference between replacing nonbacklit or backlit keyboards.  The size and dimensions of each keyboard should be the same but I am concerned about possibly different connectors.  Has anybody tried it?

    I did the upgrade on a T430 and it was plug and play, not difference in connectors.

  • Want to change my phone with another one

    I have an LG basic phone with slide out keyboard for texting (no data/web).  It powers off and is getting annoying. my son has several old smart phones that work fine (just keeps upgrading).
    Can I simply pull the chip/card from mine and put into one of his smart phones and use it?  Will that work? I don't want data/web. 
    Thanks,
    Regis

    Verizon basic phones don't have SIM cards, just 4G LTE smartphones.  If you were to activate one of your son's old smartphones, you'll have to also pay for a data plan since they are required to activate a smartphone.  If you aren't eligible for an upgrade or don't see a basic phone you like on Verizon's web site, you could buy one from ebay or somewhere else.  Just ensure that it's Verizon branded and has a clean ESN.

  • How to change serial number with existing one

    dear all,
    Our user create 2 different serial number with same material. let me say A and B. A is the correct serial number but fault historical. and B is the fault serial number but correct historical. The question is can we change the serial number, A with B and still got the correct historical from B
    Regards

    if both the serial number are present in stock & are assigned to a wrong material in this case what you can do is :
    Issue goods through movement 201 alongwith the existing serial numbers (mismatched) against a cost center & GL (Stock Adjustment)
    Receive goods through movement 202 with correct Serial number a cost center & GL (Stock Adjustment).
    eg. in your case :
    Document 1 with movement 201 to remove mismatched Serial number  :
    Material-- Serial Number-----Qty
    A-- 1--
    1
    B--  2--
    1
    Status of both serial number will change from ESTO to AVLB
    Document 2 with movement 202 to assign correct serial number :
    Material-- Serial Number-----Qty
    A-- 2--
    1
    B--   1--
    1
    this way you can resolve serial number mismatch case....

  • Replace W520 keyboard with backlit W530 keyboard?

    Is it possible to replace the keyboard on a W520 with an equivalent, backlit W530 keyboard?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It is not possible to do a direct hardware replacement. The bezel is different and the scan codes for the keyboard (which are supported by the BIOS) are different on the keyboards.
