Hi,
Depending on the system model you could disable / enable the backlit keyboard a number of ways. The Key shortcuts for Dell systems are usually:
‘Fn’ + ‘→’
or
‘Fn’ + ‘F6’
Many Vostro notebook systems can also use the Dell Quickset Application to adjust the keyboard backlight as well, this can be downloaded from your product support page http://www.dell.com/support/my-support/us/en/19?~ck=mn
