MBP Poor keyboard backlighting

[Tex-Twil]

Hello,
I have the Unibody MBP and I have the impression that the keyboard backlight is not as strong as it used to be. For example, it is clearly not as bright as on this photo

I'll post some photos as soon as I find the cable of my camera

On the first the screen brightness is to minimum, on the second o maximum.

You do realize that his photo was taken really dark and thus seems brighter? Also, his was taken at an angle with the LEDs bleeding out, thus making it really bright.

How bright do you need it to be? Mine is plenty bright enough on half brightness to still be valuable during the day.

It could just be the angle, but it looks like the left side is brighter than the right.

I have it on minimum, and most of the time it's just fine. It's there to show you the letters, not light your room!

the backlighting is on and it looks like you can STILL type with it..........what is the problem? you trying to light your way through a dark forest with the backlight or something?

it's hard to compare brightness through a picture unless both pictures are taken by the same camera with the same setting (aperture, exposure time etc..), and at the same time

Hmm ok you are right. Maybe I'm just paranoid. It's bright enough to see the letters.
