turn on keyboard indicators on MacBook Pro

I have a MacBook Pro for which the keyboard indicator lights on top of of the keyboard are not lighting up. I'm a Mac novice. Can some advise me as to how to turn this back on?

Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities Marie,


If you're referring to the Touch Bar, the following steps may help:


1: On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, click Keyboard  in the sidebar, then click Touch Bar Settings on the right. (You may need to scroll down.)

2: Set options for the Touch Bar.

* Touch Bar shows: Click the pop-up menu, then choose what you want the Touch Bar to show—for example, app buttons or the expanded Control Strip.

* If you don’t want the Control Strip to be shown at the same time as app buttons, quick actions, or spaces, turn off Show Control Strip.


You can find these steps along with additional information, here: Customize the Touch Bar on Mac.


If you need more help, providing a bit more information may increase the chance that you'll get a specific and helpful response from the community.


Cheers!
