This is a frequently asked question among Chromebook users. Actually, Chromebooks enable a backlit keyboard, which is becoming a more common option for Chromebook customers. This post will show you how to effortlessly turn on the keyboard light on a Chromebook.
The instructions below are exactly what I did before to enable the Chromebook backlit keyboard:
1. Check to see if your Chromebook supports the backlight function. You may do this by hitting Ctrl+Alt+I, which will bring up a menu with the lighting effects option (there should be four “S” letters).
Then select the lighting effect you want to utilize, such as “Off,” “Steady On,” or whatever works best for you.
2. The next step is to have the Chromebook automatically enable the lighting effect when it boots up.
You may go to “Settings,” then “Keyboard,” and find “Turn on” choices for all Chromebooks’ keyboards (if your Chromebook uses multiple keyboard layouts, you have to do this step again).
3. Now you can just enjoy the Chromebook’s backlit keyboard while reading eBooks or browsing the internet.
I hope this helps!
How Do I Activate The Backlit Keyboard On My HP Chromebook?
If you have a Chromebook with a backlit keyboard but the light does not turn on, follow this step-by-step guide.
I’m going to show you how to switch on the illuminated keyboard on an HP Chromebook because I had the same issue and understand what you’re thinking right now.
To determine whether the problem is due to malfunctioning hardware, we must first eliminate any software issues. So, take the following steps:
1) Hold down ctrl+alt+delete and then click the task manager. If it doesn’t work, try ctrl+shift+esc.
2) Once the task manager is open, go to the Processes tab and look for chromium.exe, then check the CPU column in the Processes tab.
If it is greater than 90%, you will need to restart your computer since too much chrome is running in the background. It means that if you press ctrl+alt+delete again, whatever you end up opening will be slow, especially in your browser (chromium).
3) Now, make sure that all superfluous programs are closed and repeat step one. Close any other processes or programs that aren’t required for the seamless operation of your Chromebook this time.
If a program crashes every time you open it, this could be the cause of Chromebook program opening and closing delays.
Because there is too much running in the background, you will need to hard reset your computer again.
If it doesn’t work, even after you’ve closed all other processes and repeated step one, you can try this:
4) Press ctrl+shift+q at the same time and, if a task manager appears, choose “more details” and, under the “processes” tab, close the plugin-container.exe process as well as Flashplayer (if it is open).
If that doesn’t work, you’ll have to run a power wash on your Chromebook, which involves deleting everything and starting over but making a backup of your Gmail account first.
5) If it still doesn’t work after you’ve tried all of the previous procedures, you’ll need to replace your keyboard.

The keyboard contains light sensors that turn on the backlight automatically when it gets dark enough.
When it’s bright outdoors or there’s too much light near your laptop, the backlighting shuts off to save battery life and protect your eyes.
If your keys are not lighting up when typing in low-light conditions, this could be due to malfunctioning hardware. This problem can be resolved by just replacing the keyboard.
