Hello
The manual says to activate thinklight I press fn + up arrow key. I have done that and it doesn't work.
Ive tried fn + space bar key and it doesn't work too

No, Fn and PgUp, i.e. top right key and bottom left key.
This reversed Ctrl /Fn key positioning on most thinkpads infuriates non-thinkpad owners,
but is the easiest way for us to find the thinklight keys in the dark!
Welcome to the great world of Thinkpad

Worked, thanks.
Btw, a follow up question, Do you recommend buying refurbished thinkpads on ebay or just waiting until a sale comes at the lenovo site.

Try and get one here first in our Marketplace forum, next try Lenovo Outlet, and if that still fails, only then go to feebay!

Buying Thinkpads, I've been very lucky.
I only bought new direct from Lenove, A61e SFF, K430 tower and X220, my favourite mobile as I am not worried about the TN screens that upset many people, I find them quite adequate for my use!
There are many firms in UK selling refurbished Thinkpads of various ages, I have only bought one Thinkpad from this forum. Buying at least fifteen Thinkpads, I have only been sold one that was faulty.
Good luck with your Thinkpad purchases,
