Dell Latitude E4300 backlit keyboard ??? Why?
Hello, I have a Latitude E4300 Keyboard and wanted to replace it with a backlit keyboard. It has an NU956 keyboard in it, and I purchased an OEM KR737 latitude keyboard for it. I put it in, it just says "loading windows" and windows never loads. Then I shut down, reboot and it tries to 'detect hardware problems from previous failed boot" and it just 'spins' and never does anythign. I put the old keyboard back in and works fine.
Will a BIOS update help? Is there a driver I need FOR the backlit keyboard? Is there another model that works in the E4300??
Much thanks in advance to any help on this topic.
Merry Xmas, DON!

On a system of this age, a dying hard drive would be a strong possibility. Press f12 at powerup and boot to the Dell diagnostics from the boot menu -- run an extended hard drive test.
