    Hi,

    As reported by The_Finder, the new N56VZ has a back-lit keyboard.
    Brightness adjustments are made by Fn F3/F4.

    But I wonder about the N76 keyboard, because it seems there's no icon on F3/F4 keys.

    Does your F3 and F4 keys on the keyboard has brightness adjust feature? if it does then you will need to re-install ATK drivers.

    If not then your N56 SKU does not comes with backlit keyboard.
