Question Can I replace backlit keyboard with non backlit one

[BY73M3]

I have Dell Latitude E5430 and recently I spilled some soda on it. I saved the laptop itself, but the keyboard is dead. My original keyboard have a backlight and I found one without backlight. Will the one without backlight work if I install it?

You should be able to use it, however you will be leaving the connection for power on the motherboard, which is used for the backlit keyboard, exposed/open. I would be careful with that.

Here are some that are backlit... https://www.google.com/search?q=Dell+Latitude+E5430+backlit+keyboard&client=firefox-b-1-d&source=lnms&tbm=shop&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjs_YWewofhAhUMw4MKHbj2Br4Q_AUIDigB&biw=1349&bih=741

Should you wish to go with that version instead.
