    Hey all,

    A few months ago i purchased a dv7t quad. I love it, runs my games great, fast, and pretty light and portable for a 17 inch. As i began to use it more and more, the one thing that I feel that I would really like to have is a backlit keyboard. I have one for my desktop computer, and I really love it.

    Is there anyway to replace the current keyboard? If so, does anyone know of some manufactuers or websites that sell replacements?

    Thanks!

    This has been researched in the Modding thread. At this point we have to say that its a no go on swapping out keyboards.
