Your Galaxy Book4 Edge likely has a backlit keyboard, but enabling it may require the Samsung Settings app. If Fn + F9 dims the screen instead of activating the backlight, your system may need a software update or configuration.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you troubleshoot and enable the keyboard backlight:
Confirm Backlight Support
If your model has the backlight icon on the F9 key, it should support keyboard illumination.
However, if pressing Fn + F9 dims the screen instead, this may indicate the system is not recognizing the backlight function.
Install or Update Samsung Settings
The Samsung Settings app is required to control hardware features like keyboard backlight.
Visit Samsung's Support page download or update the app.
Once installed, open the app and look for the Keyboard Backlight section to adjust brightness.
Check Samsung Update Utility
Open Samsung Update from your Start menu.
Install any pending updates, especially firmware or driver packages related to keyboard and system utilities.
Try Adjusting Brightness in Samsung Settings
Some users have reported success by toggling the backlight off and on again within the Samsung Settings app.
After doing this, the Fn + F9 key may begin working as expected.
BIOS Settings (Advanced)
Restart your laptop and enter BIOS (usually by pressing F2 or Del during boot).
Look for any settings related to keyboard backlight and ensure it’s enabled.
Contact Support if Issue Persists
If none of the above steps resolve the issue, your device may require a service check to confirm hardware functionality.
