Keyboard back lighting doesn't work
my Dell studio 1536 won't turn the keyboard back lighting on unless I do a full restart on Vista. When I go in and out of hibernate mode, i loose the backlighting until the next time I do a full restart, and that takes a really long time to do everytime i turn the computer off...
Is there a fix or work around for this?

Hi..
The backlight may go off after u keep the laptop in standby or hibernate for a while.. instead of restarting the comp just try this key combination to get the backlight back on.. "fn+right arrow" key on the keyboard.. it should work.. :emotion-1:

Hello to all,
I am new to the Dell community and also to being the owner of a dell laptop. I am having the same problem with my keyboard backlighting and was wondering that since I didn't buy my laptop from dell directly if I have this available on my comp. I purchased this laptop from walmart but have since then fell in love with the way dell does business and also the features and benefits that come with a dell computer.
If anyone could assist me with this info, I would be greatly aprreciated. Again, I am wondering if my comp comes equipped with this feature and why it isn't working if it does?
My laptop info is: Studio 1536/ x-86 based pc
Thanks,
-Smurf-

no such luck. i've only ever seen the backlighting turn on once, since then.. nothing.. not even full reboots, so I'm starting to suspect I'm just imagining that I saw the backlighting on?
the dell website says this from my service tag:
is that not backlit? and if it's not.. is it possible to purchase the backlit unit seperately?
