Is there a backlight for the display? If not, what is the function of the center button?

I don't remember a backlight nor what the center button did. Not trying to be nasty but I found the contraption practically useless. It kept time and date. I have a watch. Nothing else appeared to be remotely reliable.

I do not believe it has a backlight, and the center button does nothing. I had hoped the center button was on/off, but it doesn't have an on/off switch. So you have to take the battery out.

No backlight, but does have a nice zippered case. Interestingly, it does not come in a cardboard box -- just in the case!

I never got a chance to put mine on. The computer was stolen. I replaced it once before and believe it is the complete deal. I didn't notice a backlight when I removed it. I still have mine but no where to put it.

No backlight, it's in the laptop led lamps on a foil attached to the old keyboard inside. I changed it and the transplantation was a success. Be patient with 62 screws ;)

I purchased this keyboard for my husband. His does not have backlighting except for the small three indicator spots in the very top right corner. They have a blue back lighting. There may be a setting to allow for backlighting but if so, he has it in the off setting. It looks like a plain black keyboard.

Mine doesn't. I don't know where the confusion is, but mine is clearly a standard LCD with NO backlight. I've seen nothing on the web page or in the instructions to suggest that it does, and I'm sure that would be a selling feature. It doesn't need a lot of light, but if you have to use one in the dark I'd suggest getting one that specifically says it is backlit.

No backlight just dark numbers against a light background. In good light, the contrast is fine. Great little tool.

No backlighting on the keys. The screen provides some light but not as good as the keys may have

No, I don't believe it is backlit. I certainly haven't found that option yet.

Yes it has a backlight. You choose between 5, 10, 30 seconds, or 1 minute in the menu.

Yes there IS a backlight, but it only comes on when you push one of the buttons, and then shuts off in a few moments.

The display can be seen in the dark, there are lights but I don't think it's backlit and I did not see a brightness adjustment so I don't believe there is one.

No, it has a little pop out light at the top of the display to light the keyboard, the light is insufficient. This computer is a powerful tough machine with lots of top end features but it lacks a backlight keyboard. I highly recommend this computer what it lacks in style is more than made up in power and functionability.

I have several reviews that said there is no backlit display - yet the description of the product says it does have one. Is there a way to activate it or turn it on? Thank you!

Norm, YES, there is a C / F selector slide switch on the back. Been using it in FL for years now. It has the best, clearest, most contrast LCD display. Mine has been reading 88 days and 79 nights for the last few weeks, enjoy Espanol ........ Display is just like the photo.....

I checked online and asked how to determine if my keyboard has a back light. I pushed the Fn key and space bar at the same time and it did not enable or disable any light. I assume that there is no back light on the keyboard.

No, the display is the typical LED with black letters on a gray background. There is not an illumination button.
