Is it possible to install the keyboard backlight?
HP dv7-4296nr switch the keyboard backlighting of the installation? Because I'm working often in the night, so it is very useful for me, but the current keyboard has no backlight, and I don't want to use an external light to connect via the USB port, because it is very distracting.

Access your model as seen in the screenshot.
When you get to the video section, click on "Keyboard" in the left column, yours is very easy.
Make sure you are connected before you click on the video link.
If the link or the video does not work, let me know and I'll post a bunch of screenshots.
At this point, you don't have to remove the real water for the keyboard to the motherboard. Everything we do here is to determine whether there is a connection on the MoBo for the backlight cable.
Look at the pictures of the backlit keyboard by ebay, the connection on the motherboard will coincide with the end of the keyboard cable. Note that the cable for the backlight is a separate cable and is quite small compared to the main keyboard cable.
If there is a cable, and when it comes time to unlock the ZIF connector to remove the keyboard, be very careful not to damage the connector.
The video is very clear, and if you follow his instructions that you have no problem, nothing should be forced. Make sure you and the main keyboard cable is properly aligned before blocking the paw of the ZIF connector.
If the ZIF connector is damaged to the point where the cable will be locked down, he condemns the whole motherboard.
If you don't feel able to do it yourself, then a repair shop can do for you. The procedure is very fast, so it shouldn't cost too much, it will take them only a few minutes to inspect the MoBo to ensure that the connector is there.
You can also find out if the seller has a return policy, just in case.

I had a quick glance and I found a picture of your mother board where the backlight cable connection should be. The screenshot shows where it should be, converted red (boxed). If there is no link here, then you're out of luck.
The connection will be similar to the connection of touch pad just below.

install the keyboard with encryption in mac
Hello
I'm a new Mac user, so I apologize if the question seems fundamental (in fact, hopefully the solution is Basic). I have a Mac with OS X, 10.11.5 and I chose to have a Spanish keyboard with cable and encryption algorithms. In system preferences, I found how to change language, so I chose English as main language, then Spanish for the keyboard. I don - t know if it could be for this reason, but then I have m can use the signs around the keyboard (those that share the key with numbers and those who share the key with other signs). Is it possible to install the keyboard correctly? How can I set the signs so that they correspond with those printed on my keyboard?
Thank you for the help,
AR

Go to the sources of the system/preferences/keyboard and use the most and add buttons to add the keyboard called «Spanish ISO» Then remove the one what we called "Spanish", so that only Spanish ISO is on the list. See if that helps. If this is not the case, let us know what keys do not produce a correct output.

Configure the keyboard backlight Timeout
Hello, I want to configure the keyboard backlight Timeout on Dell Latitude E6440. I use pre-installed Linux OS Ubuntu 12.04.2 Dell.
I found this post http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/enterprise-client/f/4448/p/19415396/19975858.aspx#19975858 of Warren Byle.
He wrote how to change the keyboard backlight with tool CCTK lighting level. I downloaded CCTK for Red Hat Linux and looks like it works fine on Ubuntu too. With that - token orders that I am able to change the level of backlight on the keyboard which is good.
But I still don't know how to change the keyboard backlight Timeout. Backlight is still off after 10 seconds. Is there some special - token for this timeout setting?
According to other messages, looks like configring timeout to 5 minutes could be possible, as there are Windows applications that could do that (for example Dell System Manager Application checkpoint)

How to disable the keyboard backlight on Portege Z830?
Hello eyeryone!
I hope someone can help me with the following "problem" on my Z830 backlit keyboard.
The thing is I want to use this function, when it is not necessary, but every time I change my setting of the energy of 'eco' on the keyboard lights up. I would like to disable this feature, so that the LED backlight is only active manually. Does anyone know where this setting can be changed?
The light on the keyboard is not mentioned in the list for the parameters energy and the BIOS option is already set to 'off '.
Thank you
Hello Scorpio
I n t have this model of laptop, but I think that the principle is the same as on other laptops.
Start Toshiba Assist > Optimize > HWSetup > and you will find the keyboard backlight options.
Here you can disable.Please, check and send comments.

Is it possible to install the same recovery XP 2 times on 2 partitions
Dear people.
Is it possible to install the Recovery XP home 2 times on 2 partitions on my Satellite?
I want one as a desktop and one for music downloads.When I boot the second new system installed there say: installation is not complete, please reinstall!
Thanks in advance
What model of laptop you have exactly? As previous user written with former recovery media, it should be possible (I can't tell for sure) because the use of the expert installations you can choose the partition where the OS is to be installed.
If you have newer model cell phone with new software to recovery (RECO) something like this is not possible.

Is it possible to install the second disk in Satellite A300-15 a PSAJ4E
Hello!
I just bought Satellite A300-15A (PSAJ4E).
I read in some reviews that these models have an empty space for an additional HARD drive, but that some models do not have an additional connector for a second HDD.I wonder if it is possible to install the second HARD drive in my A300-15 has.
Thank you!
Hello Ivo
To be clear: A300 laptop come with a few different hardware configurations. Some of them with one and some of them with two hard drives. The plastic case is the same for all models of laptops and you can find room for the second HARD drive, but the motherboard is not the same and not stretch with the second HARD drive.
Remove the cover from the HARD drive to the second HARD drive and let us know if the HARD drive connector is available.
I'm sure that there is no connector. -
original title: Spider Solitaire
I don't like the update Spider Solitaire in Windows 7. Is it possible to install the version that I had in XP?I found a way to do it myself. I knew someone who was still using Windows XP, and with his permission, I found all the files of spiders by searching, put them on my backup stick and put the files on my computer at home. I just put it on the desktop so it is easy to find and it works very well. Only, I transferred the .exe file.

1 What is OA in the license tag
2. is it possible to install the OS [Home premium] 64-bit with the same key.Hi adil13,
Adding to reply TrekDozer,
1 original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Activation is also known under the name of OA. It's basically OEM activation of basic input/output system (BIOS) - which means that they have already activated and you don't need to enter the key and activate yourself.
2. you will only be able to activate a copy of Windows 7 with the number of product key used for 64-bit or 32-bit version at the same time, not both. It will allow only a copy installed with him to be activated. If you try to do it on both versions 32/64-bit, you will probably get the message that your product key is already in use or The Windows 7 product key you typed is invalid for activation .
I hope this helps!
Kind regards

I just got Adobe CC on my work computer. Previously, it was possible to install the Adobe C6 also on the PC at home on the same license? Is it also possible with Adobe CC, to install the software on two machines? I work in PC environment on both computers.
You should check with the person who arranged the subscription to see what are the conditions for individual users. Normally, an individual subscription license allows to have two machines with working facilities. I don't know if the same applies to a subscription of volume / business.

Hello world! I'm french so if I speak wrong forgive me. For my work I need to buy adobe acrobat and the problem is I'll maybe change my computer, but not now. If I have installed adobe acrobat in my computer would it be possible to install the software in my future computer without purchasing another license that is to say with the same license that I bought?
Yes, you can reinstall it on other machines, if you wish, without having to buy new. A license allows for activating facilities on two machines and if necessary, you can turn off a machine in order to allow the activation of another.

A single user license allows installation enabled on both machines. These two machines you can only use the software on one machine at a time. You will need the licenses as the number of machines that you want to use the software on at the same time.
