    Hello all,

    Is there a way to change how long the backlight for the keyboard stay on without inactivity. It currently only stays lit for a short time until you must touch a key to light it up again. Anyway to change this?

    All help is greatly appreciated!

    Easy
    Press Windows Mobility Icon (left most touch button) or simply press combination of Windows+X

    On customized by dell section, click the keyboard brightness icon (most icons in mobility center are click-able, try to explore it!). There, you can set the timeout, don't forget to turn on the keyboard back light first. CMIIW
