Precision M4800: how to change keyboard backlight settings?
I have a Dell Precision M4800 laptop with windows 7 64bit. The backlight keyboard goes off if there is no activity for 10 seconds. I'm wondering if there is a way to change this so that it stays on even if there is no typing? (I have no option to change this in the Windows Mobility Center).

For other models there were apps like Dell Quickset and Dell Control Point, but there is none for newer Precision machines (incl. M4800)...
Is anyone able to advise on that? I'm also interested.

Derek ... I followed your recommendation by adding the dell enhancement and then found the tab you described. The problem is that Dell seems to have confused "never" with zero. So while my expectation is that selecting never would mean the backlighting never turns off, it actually means the backlighting never turns on.
If anyone else has found a way to keep the backlit keyboard on, please let me know. Thanks!
