    M1 MBA: Lowest keyboard backlight setting too bright

    The lowest increment for keyboard brightness still seems very bright on my M1 MBA. I used to be able to set it much lower on my previous Macbooks. This may seem trivial, but it is a significant issue for my specific needs. I tried restoring the keyboard backlight function keys and used...

    I just got a 2018 MacBook Pro with the new T2 chip. I'm passing information this along as a general FYI... When booting up my new MBP, the keyboard backlight and the Touch bar wouldn't turn on for the login screen. No Touch Bar, so I can't adjust the keyboard backlight. I find this annoying...

    Late 2011 13 inch MBP keyboard backlight

    I recently purchased an used MBP, Late 2011 13 inch, and the seller (a friend) told me he bought it off eBay with the keyboard backlight not working. He did what he could, but never got it fixed. I purchased a new keyboard and backlight, since the old keyboard connector was very loose, not...
