Is this this connector for backlit keyboard? (with picture) EliteBook 8760w

I recently purchased an EliteBook 8760w Mobile Workstation with the standard (not backlit) keyboard.  I really, really, REALLY want to replace the keyboard with a backlit one.  I think I have found the connector for the bavklight ribbon, but I would like some confimation before I order a new keyboard.  Can (will?) someone please let me know if the arrow in the picture is pointing to the backlight ribbon connector?  it appears to be in the correct location, based on pictures of the underside of the backlit keyboard for the 8760w.  Thanks in advance for any help!
This question was solved.

Thanks, Huffer, and thanks for the quick response.  I appreciate it!

  • Keyboard with large bright characters could be cheap substitute for backlit keyboard

    A non-backlit keyboard with large, high-contrast characters could be a cheap substitute for a backlit keyboard. Most Chromebooks have tiny characters with less than maximum contrast. It would cost no more to give them legible keyboards that could be used in poor light. The first image shows a Chromebook keyboard (not an Acer) compared with the same with large-letter stickers applied. After I applied the stickers, I could type 40% faster in good light and twice as fast in poor light. (Note: I have average vision.)                        Next is the Acer C720 Chromebook keyboard. It has better contrast and slightly larger characters than most of the new inexpensive Chromebooks, but it's still difficult to type on in poor light.             A keyboard made with the design below would be clear enough to be used in a dark room by the light from the screen.   

    That's a REALLY good reason, bigbear.  I get it, and thanks for explaining.  I certainly was not trying to imply that there is some kind of 'issue' with adding a more visible keyboard.  It is certainly NOT a violation of anything to plug in an external keyboard.  That is probably the best solution that you have available at this time.  But if you are suggesting replacing the internal keyboard on your laptop with a 3rd party keyboard, that could become a problem.  First, as you described, it is not a task for the faint of heart.  You'd have to find a keyboard that FITS in your laptop, and they are certainly not all the same.  And as you also describe, the disassembly and reassembly process for a laptop can be quite complex.  If you cause damage in the process, that would NOT be covered by your warranty.  We call that 'Customer Induced Damage' and it just isn't covered.  It's an 'at your own risk' situation.  Adding stickers to the key caps is also not a problem for your warranty, unless of course the attempted removal of the stickers causes you to pop some of the keys off and you can't get them re-attached.  That again is considered CID.
    Having said all that, as I indicated earlier in this thread, the idea for bigger, better marked key labels has been submitted to our design team for consideration.  MY vision certainly isn't perfect either, so I do understand where you are coming from.  Thanks for raising the issue again.

    Since updating to LR5.5 it crashes about every 5-10 images while working in the development module. Computer is PC Windows 7 Home Premium. I have been using this computer for several years with zero problems. Is this related to the updating? What is the fix?

    Do you get an error message? If so, what does it say?
    Do you get a Blue Screen?
    Does something else happen?

    Hi.  I have a Macbook Pro Model 5,5 with one 800 firewire port.  I need to create two firewire 800 ports but only have an SD card slot (this is for video interface with 2 cameras).  Is this possible or do I have to have an express card slot in order to do this?

    Hi Jessica,
    No, the SD slot will not work, you need an ExpressCard/34 slot.
    I do not know if it works with cameras, but with two or more HDs, if the first one has two FW ports, you can "daisy chain" one or more additional HDs from it.

  • Official Backlit Keyboard with (English-Arabic) language?

    I've purchased Mac pro 15', How can i get the official Backlit Keyboard with (English-Arabic) language?

    To have an Arabic keyboard on a Macbook, you need to buy it from a store which caters to people who need that.  I do not know of any in the US.  It would be best to look for one in an Arabic-speaking country.  You could also try searching Google for a source for a replacement keyboard of the type you want, but I don't know if they exist. You could ask these folks:

  • Satellite L650-1M0: replacement of default standard keyboard for backlit keyboard

    Hello,
    Can a laptop Toshiba L650-1M0 can replace the default standard keyboard for backlit keyboard?
    Sorry for my bad english, but I used the Google translator because I do not know how the English language. I only know the Polish ;)
    Please write without mistakes, because Google translator will not be able to translate me.

    Hm ... I do not know how to check if the laptop has an additional connector on the backlight.
    Is there any other way to check if there is connector, in addition to disassemble the laptop?
    Maybe someone knows how to look inside a laptop?
    The *Toshiba Satellite U500* someone was able to replace the backlit keyboard.
    http://www.nhl.pl/index.php?showtopic=28159 (in polish)
    I have a laptop of the same series (*Satellite*). It may be that they are very similar build and that also have a connector.
    *Please help!*

    Hello. It can be a iPhone4 accessories for the one with pictures and other things are transferred wirelessly to a TV? Thank you 

    You need an Apple TV to be able to wirelessly send pictures etc. from iPhone.
    However you can buy an adapter if you want to connect to a TV

  • Can I use backlit keyboard with my Satellite C660-2D7?

    Hi all,
    wondering if there is such a thing as a backlit keyboard that can be fitted to the Satellite C660-2D7 , the old one is very easy to remove.

    one of the users has upgraded the own A660 with an backlight keyboard.
    But of course, this is possible only if an right connector is available.

  • 10.9.x no backlit keyboard with FileVault 2 enabled

    I adopted 10.9.x (Mavericks) from 10.6.x (Snow Leopard) several MacBook Pro's 13" and 15" a like, with or without retina displays dating from 2010 to 2014.
    In 10.6.x even with FileVault enabled when you first boot the computer the backlit keyboard would illuminate so you could see to enter your password to login. After adopting 10.9.x this behavior changed, now when you boot the computer the backlit keyboard remains dark making it difficult to see the keyboard in a dark room. Only after entering the password then the backlit keyboard will begin to illuminate as the desktop is being introduced.
    This will occur no matter if any 10.9.x is freshly installed on a bare drive or when preforming an incremental update (i.e. 10.9.4 to 10.9.5).
    To me this doesn't make any usability sense since why not illuminate the keyboard when the computer is booting as it did in the past. I've submitted feedback to Apple engineers, spoken with the Genius Bar staff, even looked for a reasonable explanation on-line in several forums without success.
    Perhaps someone here can shed some light on the matter and/or offer a work around or solution to this problem.

    Sorry for the delay in responding...
    I do appreciate your comment and trying to help OGELTHORPE, thank you.
    SMC reset has proven not to make any difference on a variety of battery non removable MacBooks Pro's, some with Retina display's others without.
    I feel this is an oversight in Apple's R&D and Q&A teams and not part of their regression testing. I've reported this matter to them since the introduction of FileVault 2 yet they have chosen to do nothing about it.
    Last week in one of the Apple Stores I encouraged one of the staff to enable FileVault 2 on a 15" MacBook Pro floor/display model so we could test this. This model had OS X Yosemite 10.10.0 installed. It yielded the same result, no backlit keyboard after FileVault 2 as enabled. I presume R&D isn't concerned about this since Apple's primary focus seems to be on iOS which doesn't have backlit keyboards.

  • Hardware Request: Corded backlit keyboard with black keys

    When I bought my MBP I thought it's backlit keyboard was just some silly feature.
    Well ... now I can't live without it. Thanks Apple.
    The problem now is that I use my MBP for work plugged into a big monitor , mouse and keyboard. I have a very good keyboard from logitech (MX3000), and now I hate this lightless *******.
    What I'm asking is something you could name Keyboard Pro, with numerical keypad, additional USB ports (like the current one), black keys (white ones get dirty very easy) and that magical light beneath it. Put some macro recording keys and I'll go crazy.
    Hurry up, or I might burn $130 in that Razer Black Widow Ultimate.

  • LDAP  connector for Customer masters With SAP..........

    Hi Experts ,
    Our requirement is we have certain applications which are integrated
    with SAP Portal.
    For these applications Data sources are maintained in two different
    LDAPS.
    One LDAP (enterprise directory) is for USER data and the other LDAP for
    Customer  data(in this senario customer  data is nothing but business
    partner role oragnization).
      MY task is to build an interface for Customer data with LDAP sync.
    So here the question is, Can we use SAP standard LDAP connectors to
    make connectivity to the enterprise directory(LDAP)and push business
    partners data from CRM to the enterprise directory.
    In Standard SAP system which are standard LDAP connectors support
    this functionality?
    Please advice me and also let me know if we have any SAP notes for this
    senario.
    Best Regards

    Thank you very much for the useful link Martin. Anyway, there are some things that I cannot find for NX Unigraphics integration:
    In the wiki you can find
    You can download the CAD-Integration-Software from http://service.sap.com/swdc and then goto
    Installations and Upgrades > Supplementary Components for Cross Industry Solutions > Life-Cycle Data Management > SAP PLM Integrations > select the desired integration
    But that path does not exist in SAP download software page.
    Also, in the availability matrix I can find integration with several systems (catia, solid edge, autocad...) but not unigraphics.
    Could you please provide some more information on the topic?

  • Keyboard skin for iMac keyboard with 'L' shaped Return keys -do they exist?

    Hi people. Can someone PLEASE tell me where I can find a silicon cover for my European G5 iMac's keyboard. It has a large 'L' shaped Return key and all of the places I've tried (zcover etc) only stock skins for keyboards with thin, American stle Return keys.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • Having trouble finding a driver/utility for backlit keyboard

    I did a fresh install of Windows 7 and have come across a utility that I cannot find, its for the infrared sensors near the webcam that detects if you are near the computer and turns the backlit keyboard off if you are not sitting in front of it.
