How do i turn on the keyboard backlight? Pavilion dm4 2033cl

I am pretty positive that my laptop does have a backlight. However, I didn't need it at the time and I shut it off. But now I can't turn it on. I originally remembered adjusting it through the power options and that there was a little slider to adjust the brightness of either the screen or the keyboard.  I could have been wrong though, since I no longer see the second slider for the keyboard brightness.
I have tried everything I could find to get the light to turn on. I used the mobility center but there is no keyboard option. I have tried the fn + spaacebar, fn +f5, and my keyboard does not have a specialized key to adjust the keyboard backlight either.
Anyone know how to turn on the backlight?

Your notebook isn't delivered with a backlit keyboard. That feature is reserved for only a few select models. The screen brightness and keyboard backlighting are altogether different systems. Backlighting is controlled by a special key on the keyboard and display brightness can be controlled by two special keys on the keyboard.
The following image shows what the backlighting and display brightness keys looks like.

  • How do I turn on the keyboard backlight when running Win 7 in Bootcamp 4.0?

    Power Plan 2.5e does not find a Bootcamp process, so doesn't think I'm running it, and is no help. The backlight works perfectly in Mountain Lion, but I can't getit to come on at all when running Win 7. What am I missing?

    Well the problem is most certainly having 2 versions Why on earth would you
    do that ?
    You'll have to remove both and reinstall version 4, although at this point
    you probably should upgrade.

  • New owner of MBP, why can't you turn off the keyboard backlight in Win 7?

    I'm a new owner of MBP. I have Windows 7 64bits installed on bootcamp. The keyboard backlight is really bothering me. I thought Boot Camp was out for awhile, and I don't know why can't Apple fix this backlight control thing? I downloaded that power assistant software and I liked it; however, I was turned off that it wasn't a freeware. What can I do to turn this backlight off permanently?

    Well... seems like pre-2010 MBPs all had 'non-disablable' keyboard backlights on Windows. Installing BC 3.1 won't help at all. You could temporary minimize backlight level, but not turn it off. And on just any ambient light change it jumps back to maximum. Extremely erratic
    A friend of mine got a 2010 MBP and he's able to turn backlight off. I've got mid-2009 model with BC 3.1, and I can't. My another friend has late-2008 model, he can't turn the backlight off, either.
    I agree, ideally powerplan7 should have been a freeware. However, although I did spend $10 on a key, I'm oh-so-happy right now. With backlight disabled And since there are no alternatives AT ALL, I'm glad they're not selling this software for, say, $25.

  • How can I turn off the keyboard lock?

    Is there any possibilty to turn of the locking of shift, ctrl, alt and command when pressing it? i just want to use my keyboard the normal way and KEEP the buttons pressed when I need it....

    Check the Universal Access system prefs under keyboard. It sounds like you've somehow turned on sticky keys.

  • How can I turn off or dim the keyboard backlight?

    I have a new HP Envy 14 Ultrabook.  It has a backlit keyboard.  I know many people like that "feature", but I don't.  I assumed it would be easy to turn off the light in the control panel (e.g., in the device's settings), but there is no option.  I can hit the F5 key to turn off the general lighting, but then that F5 key glows blindingly bright all the time.  I want to either completely disable the keyboard backlights, or equivalently set the light level to be dim to the point of being completely off.  But I can't find any setting to do that in the power options, device properties, etc.  Nor has this question been satisfactorily answered in any other forums that I could find.  Thanks in advance for your help.

    I haven't tried this on a laptop but I've used it on all kinds of too-bright led's like on the electric toothbrush or the HEPA filter or modem, etc.: Take some nail polish and paint the bulb. A dark color or lighter color depending on how much light you want to block. Sometimes I paint the lights on things completely with dark nail polish and I've never had it cause a problem.
    Since the bulb doesn't put out that much lumens it shouldn't hurt it and the worst case scenario would be that the bulb burns out and you replace it, or at least I think that would be the worst case scenario. On my Pavilion the f5 button turns the backlight on and off just fine though the power button is a bit too bright. I may paint it with nail polish. That said, when I do turn my backlight on using f5, it is much too bright and I really wish HP would make this adjustable. Why the heck wouldn't they?? I could paint that light but I really don't want to open up my computer, I'm superstitious that way.

  • HT4882 how do I put the keyboard backlight on.

    Hi, I have a Macbok Pro and The keyboard backlight seems to of gone off, how do I put it back on?!
    I can adjust the brightness of it, but cant put it back on.
    If anyone can help that would be great.
    thank you!

    The backlight will not stay on all the time if the room is bright.  It will only come on in low light conditions.  If your backlight is not coming on in low light conditions, see if zapping your pram will resolve the issue.

  • Satellite A660 How can i turn off the lighting of the power button?

    Hello, I recently bought a new Toshiba A660-1FL.
    However bothers me is the lighting of the multimedia keys, if I work in the dark.
    In Bios I could turn off the led illumination, but the power on/off button is still lighting,that distracts me when i am working.
    This notebook has two power LED, so the power on lighting is in my opinion, unnecessary.
    My question is: How can i turn off the lighting of the power button?

    Here you can see the LED with the same function in front of you: http://s3.imgimg.de/uploads/t009aae62jpg.jpg
    Yes in fact, the difference is color, design, but also location and brightness of the LED.
    For me, this LED is too bright and it is distracting in the dark, as you can see here: http://s3.imgimg.de/uploads/leddf570760jpg.jpg
    I was today at a local electronics store, and saw that Toshiba has the brightest Power LED on A660, but why it must be placed under the LCD and not in the front as in my old notebook Toshiba A210.
    I also had the idea with a tape, but it would look ugly, and it must be removable without residue.
    P.S. Also the fingerprints on the glossy keyboard do not look nice.

    There isn't a setting. On the keyboard of a notebook that has this feature it is on the F5 key.  It is the lit key in the following image from the keyboard of my current HP Product loan. It is the enable\disable backlight key.

    How do i bring up the keyboard?

    Try turning off the wireless keyboard.  The on screen keyboard won't usually appear if the iPad thinks it "sees" a wireless keyboard.  Even moving to another room, there may be just enough signal to fool the iPad.  I have a Zaggmate keyboard and I do have to turn off the keybord with I move to the next room.
