    dude, thats the coolest pattern on a backlit keyboard i've ever seen. why would you wanna turn it off? i guess you could take off the keys and just smash the LED's to put it out for good. or be happy yours has a backlight with a cool pattern, some of us just have to peck at keys in the dark xD

    This is SO obvious, I can't believe how dumb you guys are... go get a stick, put something magical in the core, hold it over the keyboard, and say "reparo."

    i dont think u can fix it yourself, without damaging the whole keyboard.. id just take it to apple.. if you can just give them your macbook.. and theyll give you a new one.. like an ipod. tHAT BE NICE!
