inspiron 7520 keyboard backlight issue
Hi
I have the same issue on inspiron 15r 7520. I've tried , but nothing happens. And also there's no orange printed picture on button unlike the other functions. But I can configure backlight's brightness in the Windows Mobility Center.
Thanks

Hi ChopperRead,
Here's what I was able to find.
First, ensure that Dell Quickset is installed on your computer. You can download and install it from the following link http://dell.to/1eQfDP1
Once installed, open Windows Mobility Center (press Windows key + X). Click on the little box next to the backlit keyboard on. You should see these settings.
Hope this helps.

Hi Aryan Mir,
Let’s try the following steps and see if it works.
To enable the keyboard backlit:
Press < Fn >< F6 > once to turn on the keyboard back light. Press < Fn >< F6 > second time to decrease the brightness of the keyboard back light and pressing < Fn >< F6 > for the third time turns off the keyboard back light.
If the above steps do not work, then uninstall ‘Dell Quickset’ from the ‘Control Panel’ (for Windows 7 OS):
Then download ‘Dell Quickset’ from the link,
http://dell.to/S7nltq (Windows 7)
http://dell.to/SSGLWG (Windows 8)
In case you do not get prompts on the screen for instructions, then
Please reply with the service tag of the computer so that I can check the system details if your system was shipped with a backlit keyboard.
I have added you as a friend. Please accept my friend request by clicking on my name highlighted in blue and then click on “Friends” tab at the top and then click on “Request to Review” and finally click on “Accept” button.
I am sending you a private message as well. Click on “Inbox” to respond to the message and provide system’s Service Tag and contact details so I may access your system records and check for further course of action. You could also click on Start Conversation to send a private message.
Please reply if you have any questions.

Hi Aryan Mir,
Thank you for the information; I appreciate it. I have checked the system configuration. This system did not come with a backlit keyboard. Hence this feature is not available for this computer.
Glad to assist.

Hi ChopperRead,
Unfortunately, there isn't a way to control the time. Here how the setting works: Press < Fn >< F6 > once to turn on the keyboard back light. Press < Fn >< F6 > second time to decrease the brightness of the keyboard back light and pressing < Fn >< F6 > for the third time turns off the keyboard back light. It is working as designed.
