    Try pressing F10 or FN+F10 to light up keyboard.

  • if it doesn't work pressing fn+f10, try pressing just the f10 key.

    If you reset it because the backlight wasn't working, then the backlight connector has probably come loose from the mainboard. 11 screws and  bottom cover must be removed to access this connector near the RAM sockets.

    The backlight works when the system is booting up

    Tap F2 key on startup to enter the BIOS menu. Go to MAIN tab and disable keyboard backlight timeout. Press F10 to save settings and exit.

    >>>Then press the fn+f10 keys.>>>i did try it >>>

    Did you try it with and without FN key? How about F9 with and without FN key?

    Please post a phone photo the BIOS Main tab. Also  run Acer Care Center and post a screenshot of its startup screen.
