    Automating keyboard backlight switching.


    Hi.
    I have a Perixx 324 keyboard with backlighting. Fn+Home keys toggle the lighting.
    When my computer boots-up, the keyboard backlighting lights up. That’s good.
    When I close down the computer, the backlighting remains on. That’s not so good.

    I have a shortcut to shut the computer down. What can I add to the code to operate the FN+Home keys so that the backlighting turns off.
    The coding in the shortcut is

    C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c shutdown /s /f /t 0

    Or can you tell me another way to operate the backlight off command when I shutdown without having to use the Fn+Home keys?

    :)

    Can't find the setting to turn off keyboard backlight

    Sarah,

    • lacrumb is correct, keyboard backlighting is controlled by utilities put on your computer by the computer maker.
    • Keyboard backlighting only appears in Windows mobility centre if the computer maker has put it there.

    I suggest

    • Checking through your Start menu looking for a computer maker's utility,
    • Reading the computer manual,
    • Searching the computer maker's website
    • Searching any user forums for your computer model
    • Installing all hardware updates & BIOS updates provided on the computer maker's website

    Keyboard backlight is not working

    Doesn't pressing F10 (or Fn+F10) not switching your backlight ON & OFF?

    If above doesn't work, try following and check after each step -

    1. Run Keyboard Troubleshooter

    Type Troubleshoot in Windows Start Search box > Click Troubleshoot > Scroll down and click Keyboard > Run the troubleshooter > Follow onscreen directions

    2. Update Keyboard Driver

    Windows Key+X (Or right click on Start) > Click Device Manager > Expand Keyboards > Right click on Standard PS/2 Keyboard > Click Update Driver Software > Click Browse my computer for driver software > Click Let my pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
    > Choose Standard PS/2 Keyboard > Click Next to update
