inspiron 7520 keyboard backlight issue

Hi Aryan Mir,

Let’s try the following steps and see if it works.

To enable the keyboard backlit:

Press < Fn >< F6 > once to turn on the keyboard back light. Press < Fn >< F6 > second time to decrease the brightness of the keyboard back light and pressing < Fn >< F6 > for the third time turns off the keyboard back light.

If the above steps do not work, then uninstall ‘Dell Quickset’ from the ‘Control Panel’ (for Windows 7 OS):

• Click Start.
• Click on ‘Control Panel’ (Windows 7) / Right click on the bottom left hand corner of the screen, choose 'Control Panel' (Windows 8)
• On View by: choose Large icons
• Click on ‘Programs and Features’
• On the new window, click ‘Dell Quickset’ highlight it.
• Click Uninstall/Change at the top
• Follow through the prompts in order to remove the software.
• Restart the computer.

Then download ‘Dell Quickset’ from the link,

• Click on the link

  http://dell.to/SSGLWG (Windows 8) 
   
• Click on ‘Download File’
• Check on the radio box ‘Single-file download’
• Click on ‘Continue’
• Click on ‘Save’
• Choose the location as desktop, save the file on the desktop
• Double click on the file; choose ‘Continue’
• Click 'OK' on ‘Select the folder’ where you want to unzip the files (make a note of the folder location)
• Click ‘Yes’
• Click ‘Ok’, follow the on screen instructions and install the file
• Restart the computer

In case you do not get prompts on the screen for instructions, then

• Browse to the folder where the files were unzipped and locate the setup file
• Double click on the file; follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation

Hi Aryan Mir,

Thank you for the information; I appreciate it. I have checked the system configuration. This system did not come with a backlit keyboard. Hence this feature is not available for this computer.

Glad to assist.

Hi

How to change keyboard backlight time?

Hi ChopperRead,

Please reply with the exact system model and the operating system installed on your computer so that I can assist you further.

Hi ChopperRead,

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to control the time. Here how the setting works: Press < Fn >< F6 > once to turn on the keyboard back light. Press < Fn >< F6 > second time to decrease the brightness of the keyboard back light and pressing < Fn >< F6 > for the third time turns off the keyboard back light. It is working as designed.

Once i found this option and second time i cant find

Awsome thats what i meaning.   Thank you :)
