My backlight itself works because it flashes upon start-up. However, fn+f9 does nothing. My other f keys used regularly work fine, so it's not that they're all disabled.
I've gone through all "solutions" in the community for similar issues; none of those fixes were even possible to try.
https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01109630/ does not work. The Samsung update app shows all drivers are up to date. The Samsung Settings app is version 1.0.49.0 and does not have options for Input or Advanced Settings. The Microsoft Store literally does not have a Samsung Settings app which is the solution in this useless article.
Your PC's backlit keyboard can be turned on with the function keys. If it's not working, you can check that you are using the correct Samsung Settings app.
Hello! Thank you for reaching out! I see how this can be frustrating with not being able to get the backlight keys to work. Since the steps did not work this will require service. Depending on your warranty you have a few options.
