Aspire 3 Laptop A315-41-R0GH - Backlit Keyboard?

On the Acer Products page (https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/NX.GY9AA.001) it says that it does have a backlit keyboard, however on the Acer Store page for the same item (http://https//us-store.acer.com/laptops/classic/aspire-3-laptop-a315-41-r0gh) it says that it doesn't. Since I work overnight, and will likely use this laptop in the dark often, a backlit keyboard is actually fairly important to me. Does anyone know for sure if the keyboard is backlit or not?

    Thanks, Jack. I had messaged the Acer twitter before I saw the forums here, and just got a reply that it DOES have a backlit keyboard, and that they're fixing it on the store page. Super confused, guess I will just see when it gets here, lol.

    I guess your surprise arrived by email.  :)  Both ads still seem to be up. Jack E/NJ

    Just got word back from @AcerAmerica that it does NOT have a backlit keyboard. Geez, that took too much effort to find out for sure. Appreciate the help JackE, without you I'd be having to deal with returns instead of just picking a different laptop!

    Hafizullah Sorry, no backlit KB option listed in my specsheet. Be cautious of sellers advertising backlit KB for this model. Jack E/NJ

    Does Acer Aspire 3 A315-33-C2C7 have keyboard backlight? 
  • @MaijaseAcer's specifications do not mention the backlight keyboard, see: https://www.acer.com/datasheets/2018/4876/A315-33/NX.GY3EA.003.html

    I want to know if this has a backlite keyboard.

    Yes, but @egydiocoelho suggests you start  your own thread. Because this thread is marked solved for a different laptop. And few people will look at your problem. However, if your F9 key does  NOT have an A symbol with radials as shown below, then you don't have a backlit keyboard. If it does have the A symbol, then the keyboard backlight connector has come loose from the mainboard. Jack E/NJ
