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.

  • I want to replace my dv7-6199us standard keyboard with a backlit keyboard?

    I need a backlit keyboard part number.
    Can I replace my dv7-6199us  standard keyboard with a backlit keyboard? I have looked in the dv7 "Maintenance and Service Guide" for the dv7 with no success. I found the same keyboard without backlight. I have noticed the backlit keyboards in dv7s made after mine but I don't know how to find the part number for that keyboard.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    The keyboard alone won't do the job. You need the motherboard on your machine has light CONNECTORS for the keyboard. I don't think your machine has this type of motherboard therefore you have to looking for a right montherboard first.

  • Can I Replace a Keyboard(N on-Backlit ) with a Backlit Keyboard in my HP Pavilion 17-f053ca Laptop?

    Can I Replace standard Keyboard(Non-Backlit ) with a Backlit Keyboard in my HP Pavilion 17-f053ca Laptop?

    Hi,
    Unfortunately no available part for the series:
         http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04402649.pdf
    More manuals:
         http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-17-Notebook-PC-series/6936220/model/7200385/manuals
    In this case, you also need to replace the mother board (means buy a new machine) because you need connectors for all those lights.

  • Can the keyboard be replaced with a backlit keyboard?

    I have a late 2010 MacBook Air with a plain keyboard.  Is it possible to have it replaced with a backlit keyboard?

    The logicboard on the 2010 MacBook Airs do not have the requisite electical connectors and controls for the support of the keyboard of the 2011 style. As well, the keyboard/keys itself are different and would not mate with the case.

  • Upgrading a nonbacklit keyboard with a backlit one

    Hi I am trying to upgrade my pavillion dv6t-quad core with a backlit keyboard, preferrably of a different color then just black. Since I got one that did not come with a backlit keyboard is it possible to do this upgrade? If so can you recommend a good site with reasonable prices where I can get the part? Thank you for your time.
    Cheers,
    Dragon

    I need to know your exact model number. A few versions of the dv6 do allow a nonbacklit to be replaced with a backlit but only a very few models. The general rule is that you cannot. I believe the ones where it can work are in the dv6-3000 and dv6-4000 series so they are a few years old now.

  • How can i replace the standard ESS iview with my own iview

    I want to replace standard ESS addr iview with my own WD developed by ABAP
    I added the iview(my WDA) into standard ESS addr page.
    (pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.pages/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.personal_information/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.cn/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.addr/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.addr)
    And make it visible.
    But I got this error in ESS PA addr :
    WebDynpro Exception: Application PER_ADDRESS_CN Does Not Exist
    Here is the error code :
    Error code：ICF-IE-http-c:100-u:AC_WANGFZ-l:1-s:CE1-i:SAPCE101_CE1_01-w:0-d:20070514-t:172301-v:RABAX_STATE-e:UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
    So , how can i replace the standard ESS iview with my own iview?
    Thanks

    Can you see any Javascript EPCF code in the old iView  ?  You are surely just going to have to find it  (if our hunch is correct) and analyse it and copy it into your new iView so that it functions in some way that at least does not error

  • Can I Replace a Keyboard(N​on-Backlit​) with a Backlit Keyboard in my HP Pavilion 17-e119wm Laptop?

    Hey guys, my name is Armando
    I bought this laptop back in April -->http://www.walmart.com/ip/HP-Anodized-Silver-17.3-​Pavilion-17-e119wm-Laptop-PC-with-AMD-A10-5750M-Qu​...  
    cause my old HP laptop had too many problems. Anyway I was wondering if this laptop in the link can change its regular keyboard for a LED backlit keyboard instead cause I usually find my self using it in the dark most of the time and the keyboard gets hard to see in the dark. So I was wondering if you guys would know if it can be upgraded. ( it would be helpful for me playing games on Steam in the night)

    Hi
    No Armando.
    There is no ZIF connector for it in the board, so basically you've to change the whole motherboard & I don't see any compatible boards with that function.

  • Replace HP-DV6t keyboard with a backlit one ( like the HDX-16t's one)

    I had my core i7 hp dv6t for a couple weeks and I love every bit of it except for the keyboard ! I really like the backlit keyboard from HDX-16t and i think it fits my laptop ! Can someone help me with this ? And if it works, where can I buy that backlit keyboard ?
    Thanks in advance

    I agree ... backlit keyboard was much better.  Did you ever find out if you can do this??  I would love to know if possible and how to go about doing it.  Would replacing the keyboard void my warranty though?

    Hi there @vishnupraneethr 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    In answer to your request, I am attaching the HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide. Within you can find the procedure for replacing the keyboard correctly, as well as as the part numbers for the supported, compatible keyboards. Check on page 59 of the manual for the list of replacement keyboards, and the replacement procedure.
    Unfortunately, from the list, it does not appear that any of the options are backlit.
    I hope this helps.

  • REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY - replacing the standard selection column with check

    I am attempting to replace the standard selection column (what you press to highlight an entire line) with a column
    of checkboxes using the REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.  Which would mean that when you press on '(de)select all' that the
    checkboxes would behave accordingly.
    There is a 'box' field in the internal table and the layout is referencing it.  I have verified in debug that the
    '(de)select all' functionality is updating that field in the internal table.  When I add the 'box' field to the field
    catalog it will display on the screen but it does not show as ticked when '(de)select all' is pressed.  Again in debug
    the itab is being updated.
    I have been googling for a solution and found others with similar problems, but no useful solutions were provided.
    It is not an option to go with an ALV OO solution per the environment.  Thank you in advance.

    Hi Glen,
    If you are checking condition like whether it is select all or deselect all you can modify the internal for that fields as below
    if select all.
    itab-check = 'X'.
    modify itab where check = 'X' transporting check.
    endif.
    This will update all your itab-check coloumn with check indicator.
    This may be useful for you.
    Thanks,

  • Apple USB keyboard with iBook defeats keyboard inputs - software issue?

    A couple days ago I bought an Apple USB (corded) keyboard for use with my iBook G4 running 10.4.10. At first the keyboard seemed just fine, but I think I may have hit some key combination with it that defeats the letter functions of both the built in keyboard and the usb keyboard. The number keys and function keys seem to work fine, but the letter keys are switched to other functions (for example, some of them input blank spaces). It also changes the way the mouse functions - I have to hold down the control key for it to "click." The lack of functionality returns as soon as I plug the keyboard back in before powering on.
    The problem persists after I unplug the usb keyboard, and only a cold reboot works to restore normal function to the onboard keyboard. My impression is that this is a software switch I somehow toggled, or the usb keyboard is just bad. I've tried toggling num lock, but that doesn't appear to be the issue.
    Thanks for your input.

    This is a hardware issue having to do with the USB connection of your keyboard. The mouse could still work as you are plugging in into a seperate USB bus. It would be wiser in my opinion to purchase another keyboard rather then investing any money in potentially fixing it.

  • Can I use my iPad as a laptop substitute with an external keyboard?

    I'm sure this has been asked many times...
    I've bought an external Apple bluetooth keyboard for my MacBook Pro
    (I'm assuming that can use wth iPad?)
    My work involves using a browser 95% of the time
    I also do coding - PHP, Javascript and HTML
    I can ediitng for these on a browser - but a dedicated app would be better
    The external keyboard is really important - for serious keyboard typing, the screen isnt good
    Just looking for some opinions
    Thanks

    I can second Michael in recommending Textastic if you're just looking for a regular text editor. Textastic has a lot of nice features. If you're looking for a web development editor, check out Diet Coda. It has built-in SSH terminal to which you can import an SSH key for password-less access, SFTP, and a great text editor.

  • 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.

  • 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?

    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
