    Hey Guys, Hows it going, if you look at my posts you will see I picked up a great laptop at a great deal, Only thing that its missing is a backlit Keyboard, I searched on forums but no details.

    Anyways I found the deal on Slickdeals and on there forums people talked about being able to swap out the keyboard for a backlit one.

    I see the part on eBay for $50 for Genuine backlit keyboard, I was wondering if it is pretty easy to do, or requires taking the notebook apart all the way, I do not want to void my warranty, but I would like to get the backlit keyboard.

    This model comes in versions where you can get the backlit keyboard, so the part will fit in it just perfectly fine.

    I would like to know as well. Just to let you know I have been searching the net and came up with a post over at HP where a user stated he sucessfully ordered and installed pn: 671180-001. That is a beats red keyboard with the backlit option however it is $75. Can you tell me what keyboard the post over at SD said cost $50 on ebay?
