HP Pavilion 15-p159na - Where is the keyboard backlight setting to switch this on?

Can someone please tell me where to locate the keyboard backlight setting for the Pavilion 15-p159na laptop.  I want to turn the backlights on but cannot locate this setting anywhere.  Thanks.

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.

  • Locking the keyboard backlight setting

    Hi All,
    Just got a new t430s to replace a dell e6420.
    I'm wondering if there is any way to force the machine to remember the keyboard backlight setting.  It gets reset when the machine goes to sleep or the display turns off, very annoying!
    I know I can press fn+space to get it back but it seems like it really should remember it or at lest be able to take a default setting, that's what my dell did.
    I've poked around the bios settings and power options and can't find anything.
    Thanks.

    None that I'm aware of. There are a couple of other threads on this topic in which people have expressed a need for this or similar feature, e.g. Possibility to activate keyboard backlight automatically

    Checking the basics:  For web forms, you must tap in the form field to bring up the keyboard.
    Can you share a screenshot of the issue?  Press Power and Home buttons at the same time to take the screenshot.  It will appear in your photo album.

  • 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.

  • The keyboard backlight is on all the time. I can only adjust it by manual. What can I do? (I checked the illumination box)

    The keyboard backlight is bright even under the sunshine.
    Is this a problem? Need I to take the computer back to the apple store? (Macbook Pro 2011: Mac OS X, Version 10.6.7; 2.3 GHz Intel Core i4; 4GB 1333MHz DDR3)

    Did you check the F5 and F6 keys to make sure your backlighting is not set to the max? I would set it at half and see if the auto backlighting is working. You can also check it by covering the iSight webcam and a few cm to the left which is where the baklighting sensor is. Give that a try.

  • 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.

  • After reset the SMC, my screen and the keyboard backlighting turn down at the same time when I cover the sensor.

    That's precisely what they're supposed to do.

  • Where is the option to set a ToDo item to repeat? ...

    I imported some calendar entries from MS Outlook onto my 5800, of which most were set to repeat every month.
    Those items successfully repeat on the device but on creating a new ToDo item using the device's calendar app, there is no option to set repeating occurrence!

    Can anyone please help me with this as I do not want to have to keep re-creating items and / or using Outlook to create them then transfer etc.
    'Ta very much.

    Just found an alternative that I thought was possible but wanted to confirm.
    Set yourself up a Nokia account on www.ovi.com and set up an OVI Sync account. Sync the phone to the online account to start with.
    Then, using the online interface to OVI Sync you can create an event that can be repeated weekly among other things. Re-sync the phone and that repeating event will be entered into your calendar.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Where are the keyboard shortcuts listed?

    all of them - does anyone know? when i go to view>keyboard shorcuts 75% of them are bland - where are the ones that are default? i bought the sandee cohen book and NO Keyboard chart is in it - seems like a big oversight to me
    thanks

    > Bob - thanks, i'll work on that when i'm not rushing on a job (as i am now)
    The few minutes it takes to install the plugin is a good investment. You
    can search for features (like type "scale") and it will show you all the
    keyboard shortcuts associated with that feature.

  • Where's the Keyboard layout Map?

    I remember in OS 9 there was a Keyboard option which would open a simulation of a keyboard that showed how the individual keys would change when you held down the "Option" key, or the "Command" key, etc.
    I want to type out the number zero with the slash through the middle (so it's clearly distinguished from the letter O) but I can't find the keyboard layout option. Anyone know where it is in Tiger?

    System prefs -> International.
    Select Input Menu.
    At the bottom, select Show input menu in menu bar.
    In the keyboard layouts, check Keyboard viewer then close prefs.
    Next to the clock select the international drop down and select Show Keyboard viewer.
    It’ll stay open until you select Hide Keyboard viewer.
