i cant find fn, is there another way

@skaterchick077 It's the function key used to access "system" level commands on the keyboard, usually denoted in light blue on the keys.

Does the backlit keyboard gwork on a Dell Inspiron 14R? I hate when I need a flashlight to see what's going on

@levygonz backlight is only available on some models of Latitude and Precision notebooks.

Does not work ANY MORE (ON E4200) I only see two options off and "sensor enabled" but always on can't be selected why not? And if I set it to "sensor enabled" the backlight never comes on not even in the dark. It used to work what gives? i updated the driver and now the menu is prettier but no more functional.

Is there another way to enable it? I pressed the button and nothing happened, i know i have a back-lit keyboard because it has the symbol and randomly turned on once

@86123maxxi I actually prefer using a button to activate it because you might want to conserve battery power and turn it off even if it is dark, this who actually cares if you have to press a button and waste like a millisecond of time, plus im not going to pay over £1000 for a medeocre laptop in terms of hardware, got my dell XPS for about £900 and that has a high end video card, an i7 dual HDD's, backlit keyboard...

@skaterchick077 the fn key is on the bottom left hand corner, between the windows key and the control key.

If you don't have a backlit keyboard, you could always mod it hehehe
