What is the light on the front of my laptop with the lightbulb symbol?

Answer 1

Is it a light for the keyboard, when using it in the dark. IBM Thinkpads have them. They're in the frame at the top of the screen, and mine's absolutely useless. Have to use it with the Fn blue button.

Answer 2

Normally lightbulbs are associated with tips or bright ideas.

It would have been helpful if you mentioned what make and model laptop you have so that we can make an informed judgement.

RTFM. Read The Friendly (laptop) Manual.
