Hello,

I got an Acer Aspire 5 A515-44 - R3T5 and I just can't turn the backlight from the keyboard on.

I checked the BIOS and there is nothing about the keyboard. Tried do find updates from BIOS or Keybord and also nothing.

I tried Fn+F9 and Fn+F8 and nothing happens. Also my F8 button is in blank, no symbol.

I just got the laptop from the shop. Dont know what to do.

Could someone help me?

Thank you!

    Hi,
    Unfortunately, this model doesn't have the Keyboard backlight feature because I think you don't have the connector for backlight cable in the motherboard, it has been left bare without any plastic tab to connect the cable.

    Oh this is frustrating, on Acer website it says this model comes with the backlight keyboard. But thank you anyway.
