Turn ON keyboard backlight?
Turn ON keyboard backlight?
Hi I just got my Edge 14" (Also my first thinkpad) yesterday, and the keyboard backlight isn't on, does anyone know where the setting is or what the keyboard shortcut is to turn it on?

Re: Turn ON keyboard backlight?
Welcome to thinkpads.com!
From what I gather not all Edge systems will have the backlit keyboard option. If yours does, then this document:
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc ... 5y4358.pdf
says that it's controlled by the Fn+Space key combination.

Re: Turn ON keyboard backlight?
Thanks, I'm a little irked because I can't find out exactly what causes it to come with the backlight- (I got it custom ordered and back light was not even an option- silly me assumed it was standard.) I can't even send it back because I need it for a month-long business trip I'm going on in a week. I know it's a small feature- but it's one I really wanted. 'specially cause the Edge doesn't have the thinklight.rkawakami wrote:Welcome to thinkpads.com!

Re: Turn ON keyboard backlight?
You might want to get a USB "Snakelight" to provide some illumination.
Re: Turn ON keyboard backlight?
Just busted out the manual from the box. Definitely reads "FN + (Space Bar)"... of course, doesnt work... NUTS.

Hi,
I bought thinkpad edge 0578-PNQ which doesn't come with backlit keyboard. Now that I want to embed the same, how do I do that?

My T430 does have backlight since it comes on for a few seconds at start up.
Any idea how to turn it on and off?

Nevermind... I found out that when you guys said push FN you meant the button titled fn and not the F button and then the N button.
Re: Turn ON keyboard backlight?
On mine it's the function key - Fn - plus the 'PgUp' key at the far upper right.
