Possible to replace non-backli​t keyboard with backlit one?

I have a w530 without the backlit keyboard, can I get a backlit keyboard and switch it over? Is the backlight integrated with the keybaord itself?
W530, 32GB ram, K2000m

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

  • 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.

    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!*

    The main error in this position is thinking ANY sized SSD can be "storage"
    Any Macbook SSD should be idealized as a working platform computer system, containing all your applications, documents, and weekly-use necessary files; and all media files such as ‘big-data’ (music/PDF collections/video/pictures), unless directly needed in the near future, should be kept off the computer and on external storage USB or likewise bare hard drives.
    You cant do what you want without removing the internal SSD
    Officially, it is not possible for an end user to upgrade the storage in any Retina Display MacBook Pro model after purchase

  • After replacing a failed hard drive with new one I inadvertently created a different account name(home/user) than the one in the Time Machine backup. Now I cannot restore the photos in iPhoto. What are my options?

    The best thing to do would be to start over. Use Setup Assistant this time.
    Boot into Recovery, launch Disk Utility, and erase the startup volume. This operation will destroy all data on the volume. Quit Disk Utility and install OS X. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
    When you reboot, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process. That’s when you transfer the data from one of your backups. For a walkthrough, see here:
    Using Setup Assistant
    Don't transfer the Guest account, if it was enabled on the old system.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.

  • Replacing a standard laptop keyboard with a backlit keyboard ??

    Is it possible to obtain a backlit laptop keyboard replacement for a standard laptop keyboard? My computer is not that old but I use it late at night and the backlit keyboard would come in handy. Does anyone know if it is possible to purchase an upgrade for this?

    Hi,
    Most likely you need few more things than just a keyboard with lights. First thing is you need somewhere to plug cables for lights that means you need a new motherboard and depending on your video card you may need new card, new cooling system ....
    Hope this makes sense.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • 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...

  • 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? :-

  • Is it possible to use the Apple wireless keyboard with the iPhone 6? Will the Magic Mouse work with iMovie on iPhone6 Plus?

    iPhone 6 page says that iMovie is a (free) application available for iPhone 6. When I use it on the desktop I need a mouse. Should I expect all controls to be touch-sensitive, or is it possible to use the wireless Magic Mouse? Similarly, if I want to type an email or a long document, is it possible to use the Mac wireless keyboard to enter text? With the iPhone 6 Plus taking over for laptops (phablet), it seems to me that input tools are relevant. Maybe what I'm asking is whether the iPhone6 (OS8) has drivers for these devices. Please advise.

    Apps that are designed for iOS devices such as the iOS version of iMovie are intended to be used entirely by touch. It's worth noting that iMovie for iOS is not absolutely identical to iMovie for Mac OS.

  • Can I replace my A1226 model keyboard with one from a model A1260?

    My A1226 keyboard has dead keys, somebody is parting out their A1260--Can I replace my keyboard with theirs?

    Well, you didn't mention what hardware was involved.
    It's difficult to know if laptop keyboards are interchangeable between different models. Typically the keyboards are made for the computer so unless the keyboards are exactly the same they may not be interchangeable. You can give it a try. You could also contact ifixit.com to see if they know.

  • HT201178 Is it possible to use an Apple wireless keyboard with a MacBook Pro? Sounds odd, I know, but I much prefer typing on a wireless keyboard.

    With a MacBook Pro..is it possible to use an Apple wireless keyboard instead of the keyboard built into the MacBook Pro? I much prefer typing on the wireless keyboard. Thanks

    Hello:
    If the Macbook Pro has Bluetooth built-in, the answer is yes.
