I can't get my keyboard backlight to stay on at all. I toggle through the Fn+F9 key and it will go through the levels of brightness, but then turns the backlight off altogether. I've tried this in a completely dark room, and the light still turns off after a few seconds.
I have Samsung settings installed and running, but there are no options for the keyboard backlight. I've also tried a replacement device. It's a Samsung Galaxy Book S purchased from Verizon. I'm hoping someone could help me.
@Seenlzax I thought I had the same problem with my Galaxy Book Ion, but then I noticed it has a photo sensor so the keyboard backlight only stays on in a darker setting
I have exactly the same issue. The photo sensor for the keyboard is on the bottom right corner of the display in the black bezel just below and to the right of the date and time field in Windows 10. Hold your finger over it to see the keyboard light up. I've had to resort to putting a sticker over the sensor to fool it into thinking it's dark so the keyboard backlight will stay on otherwise it literally never comes on! I think you must have to be typing in total darkness for it to come on otherwise!
For my Galaxy laptop, i had to cover the tiny hole next to the power light indicator (top left side of keyboard). The sticker keeps the backlight on. Samsung needs to fix this!
