Keyboard backlighting
I have an Inspiron 14 7000.
1. How can I adjust the brightness of the backlit keyboard?
2. How can switch the backlighting on and off?
3. How do I adjust the timeout of the keyboard backlighting?
Thanks

Adjustments are through the Windows mobility center (start-run-mblctr.exe).

Welcome to the Dell Community @Sultan1974
Did you check the BIOS???
Keyboard Illumination This field lets you choose the operating mode of the keyboard illumination feature.
- Disabled: The Keyboard illumination will always be off or 0%.
- Dim: Enable the keyboard illumination feature at 50% brightness.
- Bright (Enabled by Defualt): Enable the keyboard illumination feature at 100% brightness level.
NOTE: Option present on system opted with backlit keyboard.Keyboard Backlight Timeout on AC This feature defines the timeout value for the keyboard backlight when an AC adapter is plugged into the system.
Options are:
- 5 seconds
- 10 seconds(Default)
- 15 seconds
- 30 seconds
- 1 minute
- 5 minute
- 15 minute
- Never
NOTE: Option present on system opted with backlit keyboard.Keyboard Backlight Timeout on Battery This feature defines the timeout value for the keyboard backlight when the system is running only on battery power.

Thanks for your reply. The options I have in the Mobility centre are shown below. You will see there is nothing re keyboard brightness

Power-on and start tapping the " f 2 " key.
Under "System Setup Options" then "System Configuration"

Thanks for your reply, but not being very IT literate, what does BIOS mean and where will I find the controls to adjust the keyboard lighting?
It has been suggested that the controls are in the Windows Mobility Centre in the Control Panel. However as you will see from the screen shot below, there is nothing relating to keyboard backlighting
