No backlight on the keyboard on my MacBook Pro

My 2011 MacBook Pro 17 in running High Sierra has no backlight on the keyboard, how hard is it to fix? is it maybe just a light bulb and how do I change it?

On an Intel Mac, if it is software try —

Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support



It is not a causal fix for the home owner, the entirety of the Display comes off, the logic board comes out— a lot can go wrong in this dis-assemble/ re-assemble
