Just picked up one of the refurb MackBook Air Rev A machines and love it. I was wondering, though, if this much light coming from under the keys was normal. Sorry for the poor image quality (taken with my iPhone in low light).

Lol yes it is.

Thanks for the response, but why "Lol" at that question? None of my other computers have had a backlit keyboard, so I didn't know if just the letters were supposed to light up or if there was supposed to be a lot of light coming from underneath them.

I though it was a perfectly legitimate question.
 
You can use the function keys to turn the light brighter or dimmer, if the current amount isn't to your liking.

Srry I realize not everyone looks into their computers as much as I do. I watched the unibody from the release date have been highly interested in the backlight keyboard. Srry if I came off rude.

Theres no reason I should know that 56 screws keep the keyboard assembly together, i need help🙁
