Backlit Keyboards compatible with Inspiron 14Z 5423?

Hi, I just bought a new Inspiron 14z 5423, and Im having a lot of trouble with the backlit issue (is my first windows laptop after a long time with macbooks) And Im trying to find if its possible to install a backlit keyboard that is compatible with this laptop. 

pd In another forum I find that this may be used but I really hav eno idea.

Hi danni818,

Dell Inspiron 14Z 5423 is configured with a normal spill-resistant Slim keyboard. You will not be able to replace a backlit keyboard. The backlit keyboard you have looked in eBay site are for Inspiron 14z N411Z.

Hello Bloodlust08,

Thanks for posting your comments and bringing this to our notice. Customer feedback plays an important role in evaluating our products and services. As per now we do not have any updates if the Inspiron 14z (5423) would be launched with a back-lit keyboard. As the system is a currently shipping model, I would suggest you to share your ideas on IdeaStorm so that they might get implemented sometime in the future.

Hi

I just read your above comment. I was doing some research on how to convert my Inspiron 14Z 5423 model's keyboard to a back lit option.

If you have figured out a compatible backlit keyboard for this model do share the details so I can source it


thanks

James
