How to turn off the backlight on the keyboard: in the settings, with a key combination

Currently, the keyboard performs not only its functional role, but also stylistic, emphasizing the individuality of each user. One of the most popular ways to highlight the style of a particular device is to provide a bright and unusual backlight. Its presence provides not only an individual style, but also has practical value. It allows you to ensure comfortable use of this gadget even in the dark. However, in some cases, its presence can be annoying, especially in situations if the light does not turn off automatically when the computer is turned off. We will tell you how to do it yourself.

Disable in keyboard settings

In order to turn off the annoying light, there are several basic ways.

Using a dedicated button

Often, especially on premium devices, there are special buttons that are responsible for controlling the backlight. Usually

they are located on top or side of the gadget body. These buttons are responsible not only for turning the backlight on or off, but also for its brightness or color gamut, as well as the radiation intensity (on some models).

Using a special application

For many devices, there are special applications which allow you to adjust the brightness and color gamut. They also allow you to set the sensitivity and reassign keys on the keyboard.

Keyboard Disable

In the event that you need to turn off the backlight on the laptop keyboard, a special key combination will come to the rescue. Usually this combination is model specific and consists in pressing a key Fn + one of the function buttons (F1 - F12).

Usually the exact combination is indicated in the technical documentation for each specific model. If there is no opportunity to open special documentation, then the user can try to find the desired combination by selection. To do this, press the Fn + button alternately from F1 to F12.

ATTENTION! During this selection, the laptop may go into sleep mode or reboot.

Possible problems

There are situations when after turning off the PC, the backlight continues. This may cause some inconvenience. This problem is due to the fact that the nominal voltage is applied to the USB port, even after disconnection, due to which the keyboard remains in operating mode. There are several ways to fix this:

• Disconnect device. To do this, just pull the USB cable out of the connector. This method is not very convenient, as it requires constant connection and disconnection of the gadget.
• BIOS shutdown. To do this, go to the BIOS settings. To do this, you need to press the Del or F2 button while turning on the computer. In the menu that opens, go to the Power Management section and select ErP Disabled.

REFERENCE! In different versions, this item may be called differently.

• Hardware shutdown. Typically, backlit keyboards on the case have special controls that allow you to turn off or turn on the glow. It is enough to press one button, and the problem will be solved.
