I recently bought a Lenovo L440 Thinkpad. Keyboard backlit and touch pointer arent working. Have installed Linux Mint. Can anyone help?

PSREF implies that no L440 should have a backlit keyboard. Which makes sense the L series are the cheap models so I'd expect them to not have it. Especially since the *40 was one of the first series to even offer backlit keyboard.

T440 for example says:

Keyboard UltraNav 6-row, spill-resistant, multimedia Fn keys, optional LED backlight
