Whether you are working in low-light conditions or simply enjoy the convenience of a backlit keyboard, it's essential to know how to turn it on. This guide will walk you through the steps to activate the backlit keyboard on your HP Pavilion X360 14-ba008na.

Locate the Backlight Key

The key to turning on the backlit keyboard is often located near the top row of function keys. It is usually marked with a keyboard icon with a light or an illuminated keyboard icon. On many models, this key is located as F5 or F4, but it can vary depending on your specific model. Look for the icon to ensure you find the right key.

Press the Backlight Key

To turn on the backlit keyboard, you need to press the backlit key. Most keyboards have a toggle function that turns the lighting on and off. Simply pressing the key will enable or disable the backlight.

Check Keyboard Settings

If the backlight is not turning on, there might be a problem with the keyboard settings. Here’s how to check and adjust it:

Go to Settings Select Devices Choose Typing Look for any keyboard backlight options and ensure they are enabled.

Holding Down the Function Key (Fn)

If pressing the backlight key doesn’t work, you should try holding down the Fn key. The Fn key is usually located near the bottom left of the keyboard. Press the Fn key and the backlight key simultaneously to toggle the backlighting.

For some computers, pressing the Fn key and an F key at the same time is necessary for the backlight to activate. For example, press Fn F11 to turn the backlight on and off.

Additional Troubleshooting

If the backlight still does not activate, you should consult your device’s manual or reach out to HP support for further troubleshooting. Ensure that your device is up to date with the latest firmware and software updates, as these can resolve any connectivity issues that might be preventing the backlight from working.

Remember, the process is usually straightforward. Pressing the Function key (Fn) F11 will toggle the backlight on and off. If the coastline icon with a keyboard is present, you can also find the backlit keyboard key there.

By following these steps, you should be able to enable your backlit keyboard, providing you with the perfect visual support in any lighting condition.
