    I was wondering if there was some sort of method to have the backlit keys (vol up, vol down, play/pause) to be lit all the time. Sort of like the media keys on the HP dv series laptops. As you may all know, the keys are only lit of a couple of seconds after pressing them. Is there a modification that can be done to have these keys lit all the time?

    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

    Because I'm intrigued for an answer too, is this where I say:

    "bump"

    ? lol

    Though - my own response to that Korean_boi is I think there is a way; firstly, on the left of the inspiron you have the wifi catcher thing; and a light beside it - which I read can only be activated if you do something in the bios or something, so I'm sure theres a way to make the media keys glow constantly...it would look nice I admit lol
