    Ok guys. So I have a Toshiba Satellite E105. The new best buy blue label laptop. My backlight on my keyboard will not turn on in the dark. Is tere a way to turn it on???

    By the way It came with windows vista 64 bit home premium and I got rid of that and went with vista ultimate 32 bit because it was the only os that would work with a program I have to run for work.

    Thanks guys

    FN-Z is the combination, but when you reinstalled windows did you reinstall the Toshiba driver? That could be the cause of your problem.

    Okay I have same issue. I Bought this model and the Geek Squad removed the bloatware for 40 bucks. I got the laptop home and backlight would not work. Went back to Best Buy and they said hit FN-Z and it worked for half a day. Now backlight will not come on and FN-Z does not work

    Help!
