Dell Backlit Keyboard Not Working 4,7/5 5012 reviews

I have a strange problem with my E6400 keyboard.Firstly, I didn't even think I had a backlit keyboard. My E6400 came from the outlet with XP installed along with the Dell ControlPoint software, but when I enabled backlighting in there it didn't work so I assumed the keyboard wasn't backlit.I have Win7 pro x64 on it now, without DCP installed. Earlier today I left it plugged in on AC power with the battery removed and came back to it a while later and the backlight was just on.I then tried the Fn + - button to switch on and off the backlight which seemed to work, but after a while the backlight just stopped working again.Is there some faulty connection maybe? There are two possible causes-1) Faulty keyboard.

Contact Dell (call or chat) and they'll send you a new one. It takes less than 10 minutes to remove the old one and install the new one.2) If replacing the keyboard doesn't work, the problem is very likely a problem with the motherboard and/or the actual socket where the keyboard plugs in (located directly underneath the three buttons for the TrackStick, immediately above the trackpad).
