Changing the LED lights on your HP keyboard, which typically refers to the keyboard backlight, is usually a straightforward process involving specific keys.
To change the LED lights (keyboard backlight) on your HP keyboard, you'll typically use a combination of the Fn (Function) key and a designated backlight key, often found on the F-keys at the top of your keyboard.
Steps to Control Your HP Keyboard Backlight
Follow these simple steps to turn your keyboard backlight on, off, or adjust its brightness levels:
- Locate the Backlight Key: Scan the F1 through F12 keys on your HP keyboard. Look for a key marked with a keyboard illumination icon. This icon often resembles three radiating lines or a keyboard with light rays. Common keys for this function include F5, F9, or F11, but it can vary depending on your specific HP model.
- Tip: Sometimes, the icon might be a secondary function printed below or on the side of the main key label.
- Press the Fn Key + Backlight Key: Simultaneously press and hold the Fn key (usually located near the bottom-left corner of your keyboard) and the key you identified in Step 1.
- Cycle Through Brightness Levels: You may need to press the Fn key along with the backlight key multiple times to cycle through different brightness settings. This typically includes:
- Off
- Low brightness
- High brightness
Each press of the combination should change the backlight status or level.
- Note: Not all HP keyboards are equipped with a backlight. If you cannot find a key with the described illumination icon, your keyboard may not support this feature.
This method allows you to control the on/off state and brightness of your keyboard's built-in LED lighting.
