    Hi, I was wondering is there any way to make a custom backlit keyboard for a hp dv4t? or an aftermarket board that would fit it

    Could try to mod a DV3 backlit keyboard to fit by moving screw posts OR fit the top part of the DV3 keyboard onto a DV4 keyboard base.

    There's a KB BKLT pad on the systemboard already to connect backlight ribbon cable. Not sure if yours had a socket or not.
