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.

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 I Replace a Keyboard(Non-Backlit) with Backlit Keyboard in my HP Pavilion DV6 3217TU Laptop.??

Hello All... My name Pravin and I own a HP PAVILION DV6-3217TU Laptop couple of years ago.
Well, when I visited a near by HP Customer service center for the replacement of some components in it, the HP Technician has told me that My HP PAVILION DV6-3217TU Laptop is compatible for the up-gradation with Backlit Keyboard as he found the required sockets available for a backlit keyboard on my laptop's Mother Board. I felt pretty happy to hear about that, as it sounds real cool for the guy like me who works mostly at night time...
PLEASE CAN ANYBODY CONFIRM THAT MY HP PAVILION DV6-3217TU Laptop IS COMPATIBLE FOR THIS UP-GRADATION, IF COMPATIBLE, DOES ALL THE KEY STROKES WORKS FINE AS THE PREVIOUS ONE.???
Hope I hear a good news about it from the great experts here..^_*
Thanks In Advance..
Regards..
Pravin Jay.

Is it possible to replace the keyboard on a W520 with an equivalent, backlit W530 keyboard?
Solved!

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.

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.

Replace noraml keyboard with Backlight Keyboard

Hello,
I am using HP Pavilion DV6-6C02tx for 6 months. Every thing seems fine, the only thing problematic to me is that it doesn't has a backlight keyboard. I just want to ask if there is any way to replace my keyboard with backlight keyboard. How can I find that my motherboard supports backlight keyboard or not?

Reviewing the keyboards on page 64 of this guide, I don't see a backlit keyboard listed. It is very likely this particular unit doesn't support backlighted keyboards since none are listed.

can i order a MBP with backlit English/Arabic Keyboard and got it shipped?

The answer depends entirely on where you are. Are you in a country where that keyboard layout is offered by Apple Stores, an Apple Online Store, or Apple resellers? If so, the answer is yes. If not, the answer is likely to be no.

Satellite U500 - Is it available with backlit keyboard?

Hi,
I've tried to call someone from Toshiba in Poland but here's no person to ctc...
maybe someone here will know when U500 with backlit keyboard will be avail. on Polish market??
Thanks in advance..

It is not easy to get such info. You know it is marketing decision which models will be offered on certain market.
What you can do is to check official Toshiba Poland page and check which models will be available in your country. I believe in the future Toshiba will offer more and more models and I can imagine U500 with keyboard back-light will be offered in the future.
Try to contact someone from Toshiba department in your country. If someone has info about that this must be the right address.

Yoga with Backlit keyboard..........in future?

Hi, I want to know if Lenovo has any plan to bring its Yoga with backlit keyboard in future. If so, then I will purchase Yoga in future.
Even every mobile set has backlit keyboard, then why does not Yoga have backlit keyboard? It's 2012 now......
Please reply me.
Thanks.

This generation of Yoga 13 may not implement backlit keyboard since it need hardware and mechanical update, not easy to do so. I think Yoga2 would think about it.

8560W with backlit keyboard in Europe?

HP Denmark refuses to deliver a 6580W with backlit keyboard arguing that it is not for sale in Europe except in case of very big deals. Have any of you any experience as this detail goes?
I am getting more and more unhappy with presales information, not phoneable any longer and on mail they just provide general answers and links.

I have the same problem. I purchased a HP Elitebook 8560W in Italy. Then I tried to buy separately a Backlit Italian Keyboard from various Spare Parts ( officially listed on HP website ) and no one of them could supply this keyboard ( HP part number 652683-061 - from HP Tech Support web site ). I tried to contact HP in USA and in Italy, but no way. They said to me to contact Spare Parts suppliers in Italy. HP did not confirm to me if the Backlit Keyboard is available or not.
Really I am not happy at all.
If anyone know how how to fidn this Backlit keyboard, please, inform me here.
Thank you.

Replace W540 Keyboard with W541 Trackpoint Buttons

Could someone from Lenovo let the forum know if it will be possible to replace the W540 Trackpad / Bezel / Keyboard assembly with the new one from the W541 which has integrated physical Trackpoint buttons. This would make a very big difference to me and I suspect a lot of other W540 owners who use the Trackpoint. I am the current owner of 5 Thinkpads and have been a loyal customer since the 600 series. The increased pressure necessary to generate a less reliable click on the Trackpad has greatly exacerbated a problem with the top joint of my right thumb - I have had to retrain myself to use my left thumb to do all clcking. The problem was nowhere near as bad on the old Trackpoint buttons - where I could use them with my right thumb for several hours with no symptoms, I can now manage only minutes.

i too am EXTREMELY frustrated with the trackpoint. I also agree as to WHY the USB 2.0 instead of four (4) USB 3.0s. I have been a trackpoint fan since the late 80s which triggered my purchase of an IBM T21 still working having a Windows 98se operatring system. My next was a T42p having a Windows XP Pro ServPk 3. My third is a W500 for which I purchased a Microsoft Windows 7 Pro Operating System. My fourth is an x220 having a 500 GB solid state Hard Drive (upgrade from the 160 GB SSD as supplied). The fifth is the W540. It has high end upgrades of all components including a 1 Terabyte SSD I purchased and installed myself. I installed the 500 GB it came with in my W500. I read about the trackpoint problems with the W540 before purchasing but had no idea how SERIOUS the problem is until I purchased one! This Lenovo forum is LOADED with complaints and appropriate requests by dedicated Lenovo users to replace the Keyboard with a USABLE trackpoint. I am not surprised! I am a Professional Engineer having had my own consulting business for 15 years. I took a course in customer service during which I was informed of the results of NOT FIXING A PROBLEM FOR A CUSTOMER. It has a probable devastatilng affect on future sales, etc. Personnally I have always found your customer service acceptable...better with some techs than others probably depending on experience. It is extremely important you fix the problem with the trrackpoint ASAP AT NO COST TO YOUR CUSTOMERS. I haven't had the W540 very long but it's only fair to be upfront that it will be my last if IBM-Lenovo fails to fulfill a MAJOR NEED of it's otherwise dedicated customers. All else failing issue a recall and credit the owner toward a properly engineered replacement. My big questions for IBM-LENOVO are WHAT WERE YOU THINKING and WHAT WAS THE MOTIVE? Lastly I also concur with the USB Port error (WHY USB 2.0 since 3.0 ports are backward compatible). A minor problem for me personnaly is the inclusion of the number pad. It throws the trackpoint and the keyboard as typed on off center. However both of those are minor in comparison the nearly 'useless' trackipoint.

I would like to replace a keyboard in my Pavilion 15-p 199sa ENERGY STAR

Last February I bought my first laptop from Currys Pc world. Once at home I noticed that the touchpad was faulty: lifted up on the upper left corner. I should have brought it back on the following day, but shame on me, I did not. Now I do not mind to pay for a new keyboard, and replace the old one to get the problem sorted out. but I do not know where or how to get it. I tried to open the link: Hp Support, Replacement parts, but this web page is not available. I sent an email to hp support and i have been told: "Based on the information provided you have purchased your unit from the Dixon's Store Group (DSG). The DSG have an agreement with HP, where they support the standard 12 month warranty on your product.
Because of this agreement with the DSG, your product is out of warranty with HP, therefore please contact your point of purchase for any support you may require". Now I do not feel to bring the laptop to Currys, because I tried to fix the touchpad and I have scratched the keyboard a bit.
Therefore, my friends be aware that when you buy an HP laptop from Currys Pc World, your product won't have any Hp warranty.
I went to Merchant Square in London to Hp Total Care Centre: but the shop has disappeared.
I will try over the phone.
(Probably it would have been the case to buy from a laptob brand that is also the laptop manufactorer)

Trying to replace the Keyboard for HP Pavilion DV7-3180us. Need part number & compatible parts.

I have a HP Pavilion DV7-3180us laptop. I have to replace the Keyboard because I have about 7 missing keys. I have been looking for a good replacement but I want to ensure that I am getting the lowest price and the correct part. I don't have a lot to spend on it but it looks cheaper or about the same price, to buy the whole keyboard rather than the seperate keys. Is this keyboard compatible with other keyboards? This would give me more options to find one in stock and a reasonable price. Also, need a new AC Adapter charger. I have seen it listed with 3 different watts 65w, 90w, & 120w. Is this accurate? I find the parts listed under my computer manufacturer number but I am skeptical that it is correct. I have seen some reviews where people say that the keyboard replacement listed for DV7-3180us did not fit. Anyone with any help to make this easier I would very much appreciate. Thanks.

Hi:
My advice is to read chapter 3 of the dv7 service manual below, and cross reference the part numbers or only buy the parts you need with the HP part numbers.
