how do you turn on keyboard lights on lenovo laptop?

Core Reminder

Only mid-to-high-end Lenovo models (e.g., ThinkPad, Yoga, Legion series) may have a keyboard backlight function. Confirm via the user manual or Lenovo’s official website (enter your laptop model for verification).

Step 1: Turn on the Keyboard Light (2 Methods)

1.1 Shortcut Keys (Most Convenient)

Different series use different key combinations:

• ThinkPad: Press Fn + Space bar (cycle through "off → low brightness → high brightness").

• Yoga: Try Fn + F4 or Fn + F5.

• Legion: Use Fn + F9.

1.2 System Settings (For Detailed Adjustments)

On Windows:

1. Open Start menu → Settings (gear icon).

2. Go to System → Display.

3. Find the Keyboard backlight option (name may vary) to turn it on. You can also adjust brightness or set auto-off time here.

Step 2: Troubleshooting (If It Doesn’t Work)

2.1 Check Fn Key Lock

• Some laptops have an FnLk key (integrated with a function key).

• Press Fn + FnLk to toggle the lock state. If locked, press the function key directly (no need for Fn).

2.2 Update Drivers

If the above steps fail, the issue may be with the driver:

1. Visit Lenovo’s official website.

2. Enter your laptop model to download the latest keyboard driver.

3. Install and restart the laptop.

Summary

1. Confirm your laptop has a backlight function.

2. Use shortcut keys first; use system settings for adjustments.

3. Fix issues by checking Fn lock or updating drivers.
