    I know the new 1555 no longer have these touch activated LED on their keyboard, but I was wondering for all of us that have the 1535 and 1537, did anyone ever figure out how to keep these little things lit so they're not so hard to find in a darker place? I thought this was just a firmware issue and someone might have figured it out, I haven't been checking and the search turned up nothing so far.

    be great if anyone have any insight on this, even if it's just a work in progress to give us some hope, this should have been an improvement that's implemented by dell so long ago but we all know how dell functions, especially their tech support service!

    Is there a BIOS update that possibly fixes it?

    Also Check see if you have the latest version of QuickSet.

    No, there is no BIOS or firmware update. I always thought that was pretty silly on my old 1535. Those media buttons were all but useless in the dark.
