I'm kinda getting sick of it turning off after a minute or so of not using it especially when I'm in a dark room. Is there a setting so that it's always on when I toggle it on?

Hello,
No, the keyboard backlit turns off automatically when you don't use this one for 30 seconds. This function is managed by the bios ("power saving") so no settings:

Hi Zillypaul,
Sorry but yours is not equipped with a keyboard backlight.
Thank you Ace, that is what suspected, even though the specs page says there is one
Yes, keyboard lighting was one of the reasons I chose this model also. It would be nice if there was some way to download a driver or whatever it takes for ACER to honor it's advertised features. I purchased this Aspire E 15 through Amazon...I may have a few choice words for them too.
My honest, i wish the 30 seconds would be turned off when the laptop is on "high performance".. just my suggestion to acer.
