I am looking for a way to always let the keyboard give lite wen screen is open en power supply plugged in.

I want this, because wen i am driving and it is dark i want to see my keyboard so I can see it better.

If someone knows a solution or a program that will do the trick, would be cool.

There's no way to set up a rule regarding whether it's plugged in or not, but you can tell it to leave it on regardless of whether it's plugged in or not. (just use the on-screen keyboard when you're on battery at night ;ŹD)

You'll need a registry editor (I use the Resco one).

go to this location in the Uni's registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Backlight\QKeyLedTi meout

the value of this key is the time in seconds it takes for the screen to "time out" after detecting a key press whilst it's dark. 6 hours (should be enough for a night) is 21600.

Hello r3bel.
I tried to do this with mobile registry editor, but when i am changing the value and press ok its says that no access is allowed. (in swedish).

What am i doing wrong. Is it possible to install reg editor to the pda instead of the computer?.

Best regards
knetan

I will try and see where it brings me. Thanks

I don't know the mobile registry editor program.

Mine does install to the PDA, yes.
