A few weeks after I bought this laptop, the backlight stopped functioning. I am on bios 1.32. It is possible I deleted the driver on accident, but I cannot figure out how to get that back even if that is the problem. Thanks

    Good Morning Pearce !

    Not all models in the series have backlights on the keyboard.
    If yours does, just press Fn + F9 to enable or disable:

    Pressing those buttons no longer does anything. It did turn it on for the first couple weeks after I bought the laptop.

    Do you have a device plugged in?
    Is Acer Quick Access properly installed?

    I just updated the bios to BIOS Version/Date Insyde Corp. V1.05, 6/26/2019.  Now the backlight is working!  It is plugged in (Acer Aspire 5)
