can I upgrade E6320 to the backlit keyboard?
I have an E6320 and everything works fine. However, I wish that I had purchased the backlit keyboard.
Can I now buy the backlit keyboard and install is on my "non" backlit keyboard Dell E6320? Is there anything else that I would need to buy and install (other than the Dell Drivers)
thanks,
Jerry

Hello,
I had this same question for same model and came across your unanswered question tonight. Here's what I found:
Reviews looking like it's possible, but non-OEM may not be a desirable keyboard: http://www.amazon.com/Keyboard-Latitude-NSK-DV0BC-PK130FN1B00-9Z-N5MBC-001/dp/B006ALDTRO
Post showing software that may be necessary: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/p/19277025/19565172.aspx
And finally, OEM one I picked up on eBay tonight locally and hope to pick up tomorrow and give a shot: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180743952016
Guessing you already did your research and came to a decision on whether yuo wanted to by now or not, but thought I might help the next guy out.

It worked like a charm. Remove the two screws underneath near the battery in the docking station indentions, then carefully remove the bezel and screws for the keyboard. Do the swap and put it back together. I didn't need any software and turned it on and when you hit a key it lights up automatically and dims after a few seconds (on battery). Beautiful upgrade.
