Inspiron 15 5000 backlit keyboard issue
Hello,
Currently using a new Dell 15 5000 series i7 w/ Windows 7 Pro.
I have a slight issue that is somewhat annoying. Whenever I switch to/from Power Save Mode, the backlit keyboard shutoff time in Mobility Center reverts to 1 minute. When I change this to 15 minutes, everything works ok until I switch into/out of power save mode, when it again reverts to 1 minute.
Any suggestions for how I can keep this set at 15 minutes no matter what power mode I am in or switch to? This is getting a bit annoying. Thanks!

Hi EKJ97,
Thanks for posting!
The Power Plans that come pre-configured from Microsoft are pretty limited in what they can do. If you would like to set up something different, please use a custom setting. Here are some instructions:
