To change the keyboard light on your device, you can follow several methods depending on the type of keyboard and operating system you are using. Here are some step-by-step instructions to help you change your keyboard light:
1. Press the dedicated button for keyboard backlighting: Some laptops and keyboards have a dedicated button or key combination to control the keyboard backlight. Look for a symbol on your keyboard that resembles a light bulb or sun. Pressing this button or key combination should toggle the backlight on or off.
2. Press the Increase Brightness button: If your keyboard has adjustable backlight brightness, there may be separate buttons or keys to increase or decrease the brightness level. Look for symbols resembling a sun or up/down arrows. Press the corresponding button to increase the brightness of the keyboard backlight.
3. Press the assigned Function key: On some laptops, the keyboard backlight controls are integrated with the Function (Fn) keys. Look for a key labeled with a backlight symbol or Fn key with a symbol that resembles a light bulb. Press and hold the Fn key, then press the backlight key to adjust the keyboard light.
4. Use the Touch Bar: If you have a MacBook with a Touch Bar, you can control the keyboard backlight by tapping the Control Strip on the Touch Bar. Look for the brightness control icon and slide your finger across it to adjust the backlight intensity.
5. Adjust it in Control Center or Windows Mobility Center: On certain operating systems, such as macOS or Windows, you can adjust the keyboard backlight settings through system control panels. On macOS, open the Control Center by clicking the icon in the menu bar and adjust the keyboard brightness slider. On Windows, open the Mobility Center by searching for it in the Start menu and look for the keyboard backlight settings.
6. Use the keyboard’s recommended software, if available: Some keyboards come with custom software that allows you to control advanced features, including the keyboard backlight. Check the manufacturer’s website for any software downloads or utilities specific to your keyboard model and use it to adjust the keyboard light.
7. Enable keyboard backlighting in the BIOS: In some cases, the keyboard backlight may be disabled in the computer’s BIOS settings. Restart your computer and enter the BIOS settings by pressing a specific key during startup (e.g., F2 or Del). Look for an option related to keyboard backlighting and enable it if necessary.
