Keyboard backlight
Hello,
I've just bought a new dell inspiron 7559. When I was buying it, the consultant said that it is a little different from other 7559, because it has swedish keyboard. But the only difference is that it has two extra keys. I came home with my new laptop, and tried turning on the led on the keyboard but it didn't happen. I found out that f10 key should have an icon that shows that it should turn on the backlight. Mine does not have one. as of right now I'm using linux ubuntu.
Any Ideas? What should I do? Is it possible that my laptop does not have a led keyboard because it's swedish?

Hi gediminas,
Thanks for posting.
Hold down Fn key and tap F10. Tap it several times to get different light levels. If that's not working, try adjusting it through the mobility settings. Press the windowskey-X, and then selected Mobility Center. Slide the keyboard backlighting control to the right to turn it on - there are two settings, dim and bright.

Fn + F10 does not work :/. And linux ubuntu dosn't respont to windows key + X also. I've tried everything I could find on the internet so far, nothing works..
