If you’re wondering whether your HP EliteBook 840 G9 laptop has a backlit keyboard, here’s a simple way to find out and enable it if it’s available.
First, check the F9 key on your keyboard. Many laptops with backlit keyboards have a key with a keyboard icon and some light rays, often F9. Try pressing the F9 key directly. If your keyboard has an Fn key, you might need to press Fn + F9. After pressing this, see if your keyboard’s backlight turns on. If it doesn’t change, the laptop probably doesn’t have a backlit keyboard.
Next, you can look in your laptop’s settings to be sure. Restart your computer and press the F10 key repeatedly as the system starts up to get into the BIOS menu. Once there, navigate to the ‘Advanced’ tab and look for any options related to ‘Built-in Device Options’ or ‘Keyboard.’ If there’s no mention of backlit or keyboard lighting, then your device likely does not support backlit keys.
Another way is to check in your Windows operating system. Open the Control Panel or Settings, go to ‘Devices,’ then ‘Keyboard,’ and see if there’s an option to turn on or adjust keyboard backlight. If you find it there, you can toggle it on.
If you don’t find any of these options, it’s safe to say that your specific model, the HP EliteBook 840 G9, might not come with a backlit keyboard. Sometimes, features vary between models or configurations.
In summary, try pressing Fn + F9 first. If that doesn’t work, check the BIOS or your system settings. If you find no options or signs of backlight, your laptop probably doesn’t have that feature. If you really want a backlit keyboard, consider adding an external keyboard with backlighting or looking for a different model that offers this feature.
Hope this helps!
