    If it isn't available @ Dell, there isn't a way to do it.

    Unfortunately that doesn't seem to do you much better. The Inspiron 1520 never had a backlit keyboard option either, so unless you're really good at soldering USB power lines, then you're probably out of luck. And even if you could do that, I'm not sure the data cables are the same as the Studio 15 backlit keyboard.
