Keyboard backlit Y500 does not work after installing Windows 7

Got a y500, love, installed Windows 7 (experience challenging, but glad I did now that it's done). Everything works like a charm, EXCEPT the backlight on the keyboard. By pressing FN + space does nothing. The keyboard does not blink when starting upwards, either.

After repeated calls to the line of Lenovo, the responses I get are simply: we don't know why the keyboard backlight lights with Windows 7 installed.

I don't want to go through the hassle to put Windows 8 on just for the backlight.

There must be a way to activate the backlight of the keyboard while running windows 7. Lenovo, can you please go to the top of the chain of command to those who are working on updates of pilot and see if there is a way to make it work? Or tell me if I do something wrong?

TL; Dr: keyboard backlight worked while Win 8 has been installed, put win 7 on, is no longer works.

I would check the cable connections, the most likely problem.

You can get a new keyboard on ebay for ~ $40... I'd rather spend than that being without my cell phone.

If the link does not work, you can search and Y500 keyboard, but others do not look right.

  • My CD/DVD burner does not work after installing Windows 7.

    Hello.

    I recently installed Windows 7 on my laptop (about 2 weeks ago), initially delivered with Windows Vista.

    The facility is perfectly, and I enjoyed the simplicity of the new operating system.

    Everything was going well for about 2 weeks.

    I was able to burn CDs and DVDs.

    But today, when my father asked me to burn a CD for him, Windows Media Player 12 says that I had to connect a burner and restart Windows Media Player 12.

    I restarted the program, which did not work.

    I restarted my computer, that didn't work.

    I uninstalled my CD/DVD burner drivers and reinstalled them back on and I thought that WMP12 had started working.

    But when I put the blank disc inside my laptop and started the burn, my computer gave me a message there was an error in burning the disc, and I had to close WMP12.

    When I got the farm, WMP12 and then tells me to connect a burner and restart the program.

    After that, I looked for the drivers online set to level, or to the bottom of the slope to.

    But none of them worked.

    After that, I talked with a HP technician who told me that it is better to stick to the pre-installed operating system that comes with a computer and not downgrade or upgrade manually.

    She also said that because my computer was made for Windows Vista, it was the compatible operating system for my internal hardware.

    It gives me no drivers or anything to install.

    I should have come to Microsoft first, because now I realize that HP has nothing to do with Windows 7.

    If Microsoft, I ask you:

    When you install Windows 7 on an original Windows Vista laptop and that your CD/DVD writer works for about a week, then it stops working...

    What should I do next to fix this? :(

    Please help ~!

    Hey Kyo - San,

    Given that the troubleshooter could not see the CD DVD drive, you can try to navigate to the following location in the registry editor and deleted the upper filter and lower filter keys and check if it helps you get the job of CD DVD player.

    1. click on Startand then click all programs.

    2. in the start menu search box type regeditand press ENTER. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

    3. in the navigation pane, locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    4. in the right pane, look for UpperFilters and UpperFilter key and select it.
    Note You can also see an UpperFilters.bak registry entry. You don't have to delete this entry. Click UpperFilters . If you do not see the UpperFilters registry entry, you may still have to delete the LowerFilters registry entry.

    5. on the Edit menu, click delete.

    6. When you are prompted to confirm the deletion, click Yes.

    7. exit the registry editor.

    8 restart the computer.

    Note: Sometimes, this problem is due to two Windows that have been corrupted registry entries. To resolve this problem, you must use the registry editor to delete the corrupted registry entries.

    However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

    For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, follow these steps in the KB Article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/

  • Monitor does not work after installing Windows 7.

    I have a Dell laptop with a Dell S1709W Flat Panel screen.  After replacing the Windows Vista came with the laptop for Windows 7, the monitor does not work.  The monitor said that he does not any signal from the computer.  The computer does not show that it has detected the monitor.  The monitor's cable and the connections are good.  What should I do to get the monitor to work?

    You have a graphic external connector for a secondary monitor, if yes attach it and then go to the Dell support web site and download Windows 7 drivers for your laptop model. Install the driver chipset first, then the driver graphics/video, network/LAN and drivers of the potential.

    If you do not have an external graphics connector, call Dell Tech support. They have a method to recover your system without losing data or applications.

  • HP Solution Center does not work after installing Windows 10.

    After 10 Windows Installer, Solution Center HP, which is part of the installation of software for my HP Officejet 4500 510nz, tells me that the software is incomplete. The installation disc does not open, so I downloaded the HP program and re-installed. I always get the message that the software is incomplete. HP says they no longer support this printer (bought 24/05/14 - May 25/09/13!) - WOW! ~ printer still print, but will not run the other functions such as scanning, etc., because the HP Solution Center does not start, and HP has abandoned in favor of their product.

    Or, is there a way to fix it?

  • HP dv6 6c98sa - switchable graphics - AMD Radeon 7470 m does not work after installing Windows 8

    As per the title, I upgraded my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit of Windows 8 Pro 64 bit, of course according to a lot of discussions here (which I've read through) the AMD Radeon stops working.

    I had it running using some Toshiba drivers which I can't make it work again since I did a new install of Windows 8 last night (I love not upgrades, the plan was to run the upgrade to make sure no problem then do a clean at a later installation) - FAIL!

    With the standard driver for Windows 8 my machine has an AMD Radeon HD 7400 m (Microsoft Corporation WDDM v1.20), but it starts like, or should I say fails to start and display the following error message "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) ».  If I turn off the device and restart, then it does not show an error and says it's working very well, I'm not sure it's good.

  • Satellite L305D - Touchpad does not work after installing Windows 7

    I had recently installed Windows7 32 Bit there is almost a week on my Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5934, and now the tablet to the PC no longer works.

    I was reduced to using an optical mouse on my computer. I've updated all my drivers and firmware etc on the windows update software and still I have not been unable to get the touchpad working. Windows 7 had installed the driver of synaptic for the touchpad pointing stick, but im guessing that he needs a special Tosiba firmware to recognize the touchpad for this model. What should I do to get the touchpad working again?

    Here are the specs of my model:

    PC x 86 ACPI
    64-bit AMD Turion X 2 processor
    ATI Radeon 3100 graphics card
    Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad

    I installed Windows 7 on my Satellite Pro P300 and touchpad works properly. The OS is naked and I didn't install any additional touchpad driver.

  • OfficeJet J4680 all-in-one: J4680 does not work after installing windows 10

    I have recently installed Windows 10 on my Dell laptop.  Yesterday, I was able to print wireless at my J4680 JO.  Today, I tried to analyze, and he is identified as not online.  Can't print now.   I turned off laptop, router and printer and restarted.  I added the latest driver.  Still no luck (in print or scan - still says offline).  Help, please.

    Thank you

    Hi @mlanders55,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see that you have problems of analysis, since the upgrade to Windows 10. I will do my best to help you with this problem. If this helps you to find a solution, please click on the button "Accept as Solution" down below in this message. If you want to say thanks for my effort to help, click on the 'Thumbs Up' to give me a Kudos.

    If you have not completely uninstall and reinstall the printer software already, I'd say to start it there first. Here is the link to the latest drivers: OJ_AIO_J4600_Full_Win_WW_140_408 - 5.exe

    You can download and run the print and Scan doctor, he will diagnose the problem and could solve it automatically.

    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor?

    I have provided a paper for not being able to scan using Windows 10. If you're still having problems, try one of the applications in step 6 of the document, unless can not analyze after the upgrade, HP printers - printer after Windows upgrade problems 10

    Please let me know the result and if there is anything else I can help you. Thank you.
