 The F5 key is "Keyboard Illumination Decrease"...and the F6 key is "Keyboard Illumination Increase".

 This is a Mac, not a Windows computer. There's not a whole lot to break. (Because, at least in some people's opinionated eyes, Mac OS X is practically idiot proof )

Turn off the lights in the room...and give yourself a little "treat". Press the F5 & F6 keys in the dark...and watch the "light show"! - Nick - Computer slow, too many "beachballs", read this: Beachballs - Computer seems slower than it used to?

There's a "light sheet" at the very bottom of the keyboard where these lights are. Putting a very thin film that is colorized deeply colorizes the lighting. Pretty neat, not that I need that light though, but color changing would be nice, since white is a bit bad for night vision (even at lowest setting). lt-2009 MacBook - OS X 10.7.5 iPad mini 16 GB - iOS 6.1.3 5th gen iPod touch 64GB - iOS 6.1.3 iPhone 4 8GB - iOS 6.1.3 |

If you've lost yours, which lots of people seem to do as soon as they open the box, you can download a copy at Apple - Support - Manuals |
