Satellite Laptops :: A-Series models

I have a Satellite A 665 and the system completed an upgrade yesterday and the keyboard back light is not on.  How do I turn on the Keyboard back light?

See if there's a setting here.

   Start > All Programs > TOSHIBA > Utilities > HWSetup > Illumination tab

If you have any other questions, tell us which Satellite A665 you have.

Thank you for your response.  I followed the direction and there was not a tab for that.  My computer is a 6A533060K Satellite A665.

Look for the part number here.

The Part number is PSAW3U-03P001.

On p. 164 of your User's Guide, there is a picture of the HWSetup window with an Illumination tab.

Are you sure it's missing?

Hi,

Does the A665-6100 laptop have keyboard back light, as I followed the instructions from the previous thread and there is no illumination tag.

Thanks.

Sloppy, Sammie. Maybe this one?

The spec doesn't mention a backlit keyboard.

[Sammie101]

I agree spec does not mention backlit keyboard, but can Toshiba confirm if this is the case, as it could be there but disabled in this model. hence its just a case of enabling the function.

Thanks

Toshiba does not answer questions like that in this forum, Sammie. We are users just like you.

I have the same problem--No Illumination Tax.  I know I have keyboard back light because I see it from time to time.  There is no Help on the HWSetup, so I can;t tell what version I have.  I would guess the problem is that I need to upgrade this program so I can get the tab.  What do I need to do.

Somebody else had the same issue as you an update zapped their backlight.

The Z key will have a pic of a keyboard on it if you have a BL keyboard.

Also check the BIOS settings in the power tab.
