Hi everyone,
I have a 2020 MacBook Pro (Intel i5, 13-inch, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports), and I’ve been experiencing an issue with the keyboard backlight. On my device, some keys (Q, W, 1, 2, 3, P, =, -, M, ]) are noticeably brighter than others, which makes the lighting look uneven and a bit distracting in low-light environments.
I’ve checked the logic board connections and everything seems properly seated. There’s no visible physical damage, and the MacBook works perfectly otherwise. I also tried resetting the SMC, but that didn’t solve the issue.
After some research, I noticed a few other users had similar problems, but I haven’t found a clear explanation or fix yet. I’ve attached a photo, and also found a video from another user which illustrates the issue much more clearly than I could capture myself.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a hardware issue or just a design quirk? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
