    I just bought a new backlit keyboard for my Dell Studio 1537, but I can't get the backlighting to work. I've installed it and uninstalled it several times, and the keyboard worked fine every time, but the backlighting wouldn't. I know there's a separate connection for the backlighting, and I tried connecting it to what looked like the right connector. Can anybody tell me exactly what connector to use, and how to make the connection? I don't know if there's something wrong with the keyboard or if I just connected it wrong. The description on eBay said it was new, though. Any advice?
