Share This:

Are you having trouble with your Macbook Pro 2015 keyboard light not working? It’s a common problem, but luckily, there are a few simple steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue.

First, let’s take a look at why your keyboard light may not be working. The most common cause of this problem is an outdated or corrupt driver. If your Macbook Pro 2015 has an ambient light sensor, it could be causing the issue as well. Additionally, if the Keyboard backlit option is disabled in the BIOS, then that could also be preventing the keyboard light from functioning properly.

If you’ve checked all of these potential causes and they’re still not working, then don’t worry! There are still some things you can do to get your keyboard light up and running again.

The first step is to update your keyboard driver by accessing the Control Center icon located at the top-right corner of the menu bar. Here, you can select “Keyboard Brightness” from the options and adjust the slider accordingly. You should also make sure that the Keyboard backlit option is enabled in the BIOS by pressing F2 once per second as soon as you power on your computer.

Another possible solution is to access System Settings > Keyboard in your Apple menu and turn on “Adjust keyboard brightness in low light” on the right side of the window. This should help ensure that your Macbook Pro 2015 keyboard light works properly even when ambient lighting conditions are low.

Hopefully one of these tips will help you get your Macbook Pro 2015 backlight working again! If none of these solutions have worked for you, it might be time to consult with a certified technician who can diagnose and repair any underlying hardware issues that may be causing this problem.

Turning On Keyboard Lights on MacBook Pro 2015

To turn on the keyboard lights on your MacBook Pro 2015, open System Settings by clicking the Apple menu at the top left of your screen, then click Keyboard in the sidebar. Scroll down to the Keyboard section and make sure that “Adjust keyboard brightness in low light” is checked. This will allow the keyboard lights to automatically adjust brightness depending on how dark or bright your environment is. If you’d like to manually control the brightness of your keyboard lights, click the F5 and F6 keys until you get to your desired level of lighting.

Troubleshooting Keyboard Light Issues on MacBook Pro

There are several possible reasons why your keyboard light is not working on your MacBook Pro. First, make sure that the brightness setting for your keyboard is turned up. To do this, click the Control Center icon in the menu bar at the top-right corner and select Keyboard Brightness from the options. Then, click and drag the slider to the right to increase brightness.

If that doesn’t work, you may need to reset your SMC (System Management Controller). To do this, shut down your laptop and then press and hold all of these keys at once: Option + Command + P + R. Once you hear a startup sound, release all of those keys and allow your laptop to boot back up. This should reset your SMC which should result in your keyboard light working again.

Finally, if neither of those options works it could be a sign of hardware failure in which case you should contact Apple Support for assistance with hardware repair or replacement.

Troubleshooting Keyboard Backlight Issues

The keyboard backlight may not be working because the option is disabled in the BIOS. To enable the backlight, you’ll need to access the BIOS by pressing the F2 key while powering on your computer. Once in the BIOS, look for a setting labeled Keyboard Backlit and make sure it’s enabled. If it’s already enabled, then try resetting your BIOS to its default settings and then re-enable the Keyboard Backlit setting. If that doesn’t work, then it’s possible that either the backlight has burned out or there is a hardware issue with your keyboard.

Keyboard No Longer Lighting Up

If your keyboard suddenly stopped lighting up, it’s likely due to an outdated or corrupt driver. The driver is a piece of software that helps your operating system communicate with the hardware components of your computer, such as the keyboard. If it becomes outdated or corrupted, it can cause issues with the backlight on your keyboard. To fix this issue, you should update your keyboard driver.

Does the Apple Logo Light Up on a MacBook Pro 2015?
