    I have a Acer Aspire 5742G and I want to install this keyboard
    The only problem is that my laptop doesn't natively suport the whole backlight thing. Where can I connect the blacklight cable in order to get it powered?

    Is there any way to connect it to the wireless module so I get it powered when I turn on the wireless?

    Here is the service manual: Click
