How to enable Backlit keyboard on G751? - solved

I just bought a G751 less than two weeks ago and was wondering if there is something I need to do to keep the keyboard lit when I'm using it at night. The keyboard lights up when the computer boots up but after a short period the lights go out. I am not a gamer but I bought the computer for photography based on the specs. Any help would be appreciated. The computer was purchased new.

fn + F4 - should turns the light on, it has 3 levels of brightness.
fn + F3 - turns it off.

Thank you very much. It works. There has to be a place other than the e-manual on the computer to find this stuff out.

Every time I close my G751 to suspend it the keyboard backlight goes out (good) and then when I open it back up to resume the keyboard light stays out (bad) and I can not turn it back on (worse). The FN+F4/F3 does nothing after a resume for me. This is pretty huge becase with black keys and red lettering you have no prayer of reading the keyboard if it is dark (e.g. on an airplane). Would be more than nice to have this fixed.
