Inspiron 15 5379

My laptop keyboard backlight stopped working after restart next day 

Last day it was fine 

i saw some videos on internet but nothing happens 

Then I decided to get new keyboard 

Now I install new keyboard but the problem remains same 

I install new windows drivers bio's 

Even I tested the current coming from motherboard is good 5.1 v

I think the new keyboard backlight is faulty butt when I give 3.2 it glows 

Is this really a isho or it's my bad luck

If you're sure the new keyboard is backlit, two keyboards with faulty backlights likely mean the keyboard controller is the issue -- that would mean a replacement system board.

That may not be an economic repair -- the system is likely worth less than $100 complete and working.
