Hi all,
Needing to replace the keyboard in my current laptop and was considering retrofitting the backlit keyboard from a V5 laptop as they appear to be the same dimensions however the only thing I am unsure about is wether my laptop has the connection for the led power. If anyone could help I would be very grateful.

    If you have the connector it will be near battery reset button close too DVD sata connector, 4 pin flat ribbon style. I had posted a mod to keep always on with photo. Here's the thing tho, it needs the circuit for control. Other option is to feed voltage say from USB port. 3 lines are 5vdc, end one ground. Keyboard itself lights in 3 sections thus the 3 feeds.
