ThinkPad Edge E130 keyboard backlight?

I just got new ThinkPad Edge E130 (3358 - 5DG) as my portable secondary on the side of my trusty W520. When traveling / flying W520 etc is just a little too big, so I wanted to have a smaller unit that I use in these conditions. I know that Edge is not supposed to match the quality of the series W, but wouldn't give a try for this beautiful little unit.

Everything works pretty well, but the backlit keyboard (backlit keyboard) does not work. When you look at specifications of machine that it is clearly stated that the unit has keyboard backlight (which is a must for me), but there are also contained in fingerprint reader I know with certainty that it does not exist on this machine. Also it is visible in the pictures clearly has no fingerprint reader in any of the units E130 (which I didn't know and that you do not need either).

FN + space combination should set up the lights and it is also printed on the keyboard. Press this combination gives me symbol OSD 'ThinkLight OFF' (icon with ThinkLight and line above it) whenever I press on it, so I have never 'ThinkLight ON' symbol and nothing is really happening in the keyboard. I updated all the software, etc. of Lenovo, so it's all the more recent version. Situation was the same before and after the update.

So it seems that either A) my camera is faulty light keyboard or B) there is no light on the keyboard and standards applicable to devices are wrong on the Lenovo site.

I tried to find information on this problem for the web and some said forums that some models that don't have a keyboard light still have keyboards with the printed markings of it. I also called Lenovo support, but they were not able to answer me either, they said that they have some documentation showing that there are keyboard backlight, but also some documents without him, while they were not able to say what the problem is. I'm waiting for more information from them, but no idea how much time is it going to take.

If all of the ideas, can someone tell me how OSD works when you press Fn + combination of space when the unit is not equipped ThinkLight? My behavior is same as devices where there's no light on the keyboard and still print on the keyboard?

My unit specifications can be found here: http://support.lenovo.com/en_FI/product-and-parts/detail.page?DocID=PD024686

In standard: "ThinkLight keyboard light to illuminate the keyboard in order to improve visibility in low light conditions.»

lead_org is right, that your machine has no backlight or think-light.

The SPACEBAR key is printed with the light on all models.

Hope this helps,

Alex

  • ThinkPad Edge E420 keyboard (FRU) part number

    I have a Thinkpad Edge E420 model CTO 1141 - I need to replace the keyboard (spilled coffee and the keys are blocked)-since it is out of warranty, I intend to do it myself - when I looked for parts.

    If I give the model number, then the FRU for the keyboard presents itself as 04W0764.

    If I give the serial number also then the FRU will be 04W2631.

    Which is the right to a 04W0764 or a 04W2631?

    Two identical models are?

    Please notify.

    Thank you

    Hi bhaskar39, welcome to the forums.

    both are actually correct.  As far as I can tell that the 04W2631 is a number of 'old' that has been replaced by 04W0764. You can also use a 04W0800 that is from another manufacturer to another.

  • Keyboard comes out on my new Thinkpad Edge

    My wife has just received its new Thinkpad Edge (0196-26U 13 "screen, Intel processor, matte black). While not as energetic as our boosted T61 or T400, it is much lighter and adapts to its needs.

    Most of the keys on the keyboard feels good, but our model seems to have a flaw. The upper right corner of the keyboard tray pops out regularly. I can click it back in but there is a visible bulge and with a slight flex of the body it comes out back. In addition, the right side of the END key is depressed compared to the rest of the keys.

    I provide Lenovo today to inquire about a replacement part.

    Anyone else having this problem?

    Received the replacement keyboard today (the day after). It was a simple swap out. The original was clearly misrepresented in the upper right. The replacement unit has a millimeter to give in the same corner, but the framework comes out with an audible 'click'. Not perfect but does not interfere with my typing.

    The keyboard is attached to the frame by tabs at the front and two screw centered on a third of the way left and right. This keeps most of the keyboard firmly in place, especially in the middle where you press the small head of gum. The corners are only kept pressed by the rigidity of the frame of the keyboard. Thus, given any incompatibility with the chassis, there got to be some give.

    That's life I guess.

    Contact the service provider authorised of Lenovo in your country

  • Glimmer of hope ThinkPad Edge 13 LCD

    Hello world

    I just got my ThinkPad Edge 13 Friday and am really pleased with the look, the feel and performance. However, it is a small (maybe 5 x 5 pixels) light spot on the LCD screen, on the left side in the middle. Just to be clear: it is not a dead or stuck pixel, but a brighter patch.

    This type of damage is caused by applying pressure on the back or the front of the screen, or it may be a manufacturing defect (which is probably the case here since this is a brand new laptop). I checked if it's maybe caused by a raised keyboard, but this probably isn't the case because it seems that everything is installed perfectly.

    I was wondering if I can get the laptop / screen LCD replaced and if I need to contact the reseller or Lenovo (I'm located in the Netherlands)?

    Hello!
    I have Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 15 and I have a little problem with that.

    ThinkPad edge 15 has all sorts of buttons on the keyboard. As the volume, mute speaker buttons button etc.

    The problem is that there is a button to turn off/turn on Webcam it (marked with yellow box in the picture), but its no longer works. Whenever I push, nothing happens (instead, it shows me with this ring mouse cursor). It should show me that the camera is in power. For example, it shows me my microphone turned off.      Like this:

  • Satellite U500-1FN: would like to have a keyboard backlight

    Hello

    I have this model u500-1fn without keyboard backlight...
    If I buy a keyboard backlight for u500 will work?

    Hmm, the laptop must support the backlight for the keyboard if you want to use this keyboard.
    Under the keyboard there should be a slot in order to attach the cable from the keyboard backlight.
    If it is available then you should be able to use this theory
