I have a $25 Chinese keyboard, and yeah, it has backlight, but the

I've got an Amazon Basics. It has three lights -- caps lock, num lock, and
I don't have a clue what the third one is.

 
 
I just tried to see if it was Scroll Lock, and it borked something
with Agent, I had to figure out to disable the feature in Agent's
options so that I could use the arrow keys to edit a post again.  The
scroll lock would turn on again when I tried to turn it off.  And, to
the point about the Amazon Basics keyboard's third light, it doesn't
seem to light up for any reason I can determine.
 

You should watch the three LEDs during "lamp test" and see if they come on.

The BIOS does a couple of tests, like the lamp test on the keyboard,
plus it beeps the SPKR once to prove the SPKR is connected and operating.
