[QUOTE="dtfamily, post: 1751769, member: 390822"] Thanks for the help Dave- I appreciate the advice, but could use some more help! Because now it's really gotten strange. I did the SMC reset, and the lights just stayed on after I turned the computer back on again. I unchecked/rechecked "Turn keyboard light off after...", and then the backlight shut off after 5 seconds, so it was working! However, after a few minutes, the backlight turned off completely and now it won't turn on at all. Even using the "F6" key, the light won't turn on- it shows the backlit symbol on the display, but it shows a circle with a slash in the middle, meaning I can't change it. I've tried it with the "Turn keyboard light off after..." checked, unchecked, etc. but now the backlights won't turn on at all. I did another SMC reset, and it's still not working. Please help! :( BTW, when I do a SMC reset for 10 seconds, does it show or do anything to indicate it has done a reset? EDIT: ok, so I turned off "Adjust keyboard brightness in low light", and it is working properly again- they keyboard backlights shut off after 5 seconds. So I'll just keep this option off, and it works for me! Still would appreciate though knowing if, when I do a SMC reset for 10 seconds, does it show or do anything to indicate it has done a reset? Thanks much in advance! Dave [/QUOTE]
