    Hey guys. My keyboard back light is not working after I repasted and reinstalled windows 7 since I put in a brand new ssd. I have installed all the drivers and I believe I connected all the right wires and stuff. I have opened the laptop before and the keyboard light worked fine, but that time I did not format and reinstall windows. So I'm thinking there might be some illusive driver I'm missing. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I also have the mcafee anti-virus which I got with the computer, but not the install cd so how would I get this reinstalled? Is there some product key. The last question on my mind is whether or not the xps 15 has sata 3 or 2?
