I'd like to turn off the keyboard backlight on my new Lenovo Y70 laptop.
Is there a built-in way of doing this?
Or is there a way to physically disconnect the backlighting from the power supply, if I opened it up myself?

It seems that the "Quick Power-Off in Blank Only Mode" is only enabled when power management is enabled (makes sense, however the GUI implies otherwise IMO).
I have set every timed power management option to one minute and enabled the quick power-off option. Now whenever I lock manually the screen powers-off immediately. When I push a button the screen powers back on and powers off after one minute.
It should be noted that power management is also applied when not in screensaver.
I think you need the Dell Feature Enhancement Pack DFEP that adds extra features for customising your hardware settings.
Dell Feature Enhancement Pack provides OS extensions and features for Dell business client platforms, including:
- Support for hot keys and system events
- Dell customized power plans and extensions
- Battery Health Information
- Touch Palette
- Keyboard hotkey information, including backlighting
- Smart Settings.
After installing this, you should be able to control your keyboard backlight settings in Windows Mobility under "Dell customisation"
