    Hi everyone I am new to the forum here and first I would like to apologize for not reading ALL the rules for posting...I really love Toughbooks as I sure you do too so I trust you will forgive me,
    My question today is...I have a 74 I bought for myself to use (19's are too small for this old guys eyes!} and I need to know if there was ever a Backlit Chiclet keyboard made for this or if another models keyboard might work...Thanks Travis [email protected]

    None has ever been made for the 74. There have been several attempts to make other keyboards work, but with limited or no success. One or two have been able to hack another keyboard to light, but had no way of controlling the level of brightness.
