Acer Aspire 3 A315-55G-59XE no Backlight and issue with FN Key

Hi, I have 2 topics to talk about

(1)

Backlight Possibility?

so my laptop hasn't got backlight keyboard, the F8 button isn't assigned to any media key nor backlight
I have seen Acer Aspire 3 A315-55G overall keyboard that is compatible within the family tree model for any A315-55G laptop and it includes backlight,

Have anybody tried installing the keyboard with backlight to non-backlight 59XE model? does it work?

(2)

FN Key problem
My function key doesn't work, I tried changing on BIOS Key Behaviour, but there is no result, I used to press FN key along with F8 to see if its FN Lock, FN + Capslock, FN + ESC none of these work, neither keyboard test shows that i press FN button

I tried windows updates, keyboard drivers update, some fixing utilities but nothing can fix FN button

The laptop which you having does not have the backlit keyboard. You dont have the option of turning it on and off.

When comes to the FN key, are you looking to activate the hotkeys. Like FN+F1 makes the laptop tp go to sleep?

F1 to F12 hotkey works in normal way when i press them, but when I do for example FN+F1 my laptop goes to sleep instead of doing some windows function nor having any function in a game, when I press F4 to brighten my screen it works, but when i press FN+F4 instead of different function, it still makes my screen bright. in simple words, the FN key doesn't work

I can't for example access some settings in games where they use Function hotkeys

when I press FN+F3 in Minecraft to show my coordinates, instead it lowers my brightness

This is the shop where they sell the keyboard for whole A315-55G family tree and it has backlight

and this is my laptop model that supports this keyboard, my question about backlight hasn't been solved, I need to know if someone owns the laptop with this keyboard installed that includes backlight
