    Keyboard Backlight Timeout


    I have a Dell Latitude E7470 laptop, and cannot figure out how to adjust the keyboard's backlight settings.


    The backlight turns off after a few seconds, and there is not an obvious fix for this.


    Is there a solution for this?


    Thanks.

    :)

    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

    Hi,

    This may have something to do with the driver for the device. We'd like to know some things so we can guide you better in resolving the issue. Please answer the following questions:

    • Was the backlight previously working?
    • Did the feature stop functioning after applying changes on the computer?
    • Have you tried connecting the device to another computer?

    We can gather more information about the cause of the problem by running some troubleshooters available in Control Panel. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Click on Start.
    • Type Troubleshooting then press Enter.
    • On the left panel, click on View all.
    • Choose Keyboard and allow the troubleshooter to run.
    • Run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter as well.

    The suggested troubleshooters will automatically correct the issues they find on your computer.

    It will also be helpful if you can connect the keyboard to another computer to determine if the problem is specific to the device where the keyboard is currently connected. Connecting the keyboard to another computer will let us know if the backlight is
    defective.

    Let us know if you have questions.

    Come back if you need more help.

    Hi,

    A recent change in the configuration of your device can be one of the factors why this issue occurs.
    To help us determine the appropriate troubleshooting steps that can resolve your concern, we would like to ask the following questions:

    • What is the make and model of your keyboard?
    • Have you tried connecting your keyboard to another computer? Are you experiencing the same concern?
    • What is the build and version of Windows that you’re using? To check, type
      winver in the Search box, select the resulting command and send us a screenshot of the information window.
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far to resolve your concern?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter in
    Windows 10. To do this, follow the steps below:

    • In the Search box, type Troubleshooting and press
      Enter.
    • Click on Hardware and
      Sound.
