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.

  • 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?
    This question was solved.

    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.

    You are not talking to Apple on here, we are all fellow users and not Apple employees.  You can comment to Apple by giving feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback
    What we have heard is this 'feature' was added as a result of the high-profile downloads of celebrity photos from iCloud accounts.

  • 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 do i turn off the auto delete when played feature in new update?

    how do I turn off the auto delete after playing an item in latest update?

    After the disaster of iTunes 11.1 that deleted nearly all my archived podcasts (recovered from backup thankfullly) I was shocked, but not altogether surprised, to see that the option to delete played episodes has been enabled/re-enabled by default.
    From the lower right of the Podcasts window click Settings then, if needed, click Defaults, then turn Delete Played Episodes to Off.
    Why set the destructive option as the default?
    I have many episodes that I want to keep that are no longer available at their feed so the last thing I want is any automatic delete process to be enabled.

  • How do I turn off the Icloud erase when the phone is turned on?

    My husband is a ship captain and He thought he lost his phone, I went through all the procedures of changing his account numbers etc on email
    only thing he has on his phone is facebook and email  . He didn't have the find my phone app on when he lost it so I deactived it on our cell provider
    and from I cloud I set up the find my phone to erase it when its turned on.
    Well yes he found it, so I have set back up with the cell service but how do I turn off the find my phone from erasing it when he turns it back on?
    And what is it going to erase??
    Will he still be able to use it as a phone at least?
    thanks for your help!

    Too bad.  It completely erases the phone so it will be like it was when it came out of the box.  He will need to go through the initial setup screens on the phone again to reactivate it before he can use it, and it will require entering his iCloud password to do so.

  • 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 do I turn off the camera lights when recording a video with the Android Turbo?

    I want to use the Andriod Turbo camera video function in ambient lighting using the forward lens.  But when I start recording both lights stay on.  I can video with ambient using the look back lens.  Not as good a quality and harder to aim.
    Is there a setting that can turn off the lights until I want them?  How is it done?
    Thanks for the help.

    Thank You!  Problem solved.  I am a new user to 'smart phones' and my original question probably should have been "How Do I Find The Camera Settings Menu?"
    It wasn't obvious, but your reply got me searching again.  I found that if you drag your finger from the left side of the screen to the center the semi-circular menu appears on the left.  There I found the light control and other options.
    I didn't know it existed and the manufacturer's manual that came with the phone gave no instructions on the camera operation.
    abcdefg4, your comment helped me search a little harder.  Thank you again.

  • How do you turn off a single display when running two by software?

    so, i just bought a vizio 47" 1080p lcd tv and am very impressed with how good it looks connected to my imac with a dvi to hdmi cable. the problem is that sometimes i want to turn off the imac's screen because it can get distracting. any ideas?? thanks in advance.
    Ray

    This still is a serious issue. Has anyone heard any official statements from Apple regarding this? The iMac would be a great HTPC/computer combo, if it was possible to turn off the internal LCD.
    With the current state of Mac display management, this is a real show stopper for PC-based friends looking for alternatives for PC/Vista.

    The iPhone does not vibrate when it is done charging, it simply stops charging.
    Whatever is happening is not due to charging.  Its either due to messages, calls, notifications or emails being received.
    You can set the Do Not Disturb to stop ringings and vibrations from these types of events from activating during a specified period of time.
    Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    Go to any website that has a link to a story. When I move the cursor over the link to the story a second version (read) also pops up. Why would somebody need to read the link twice in the exact same spot and why does it read over the original link I am trying to read?
