If the machine has backlight, no matter whether it is bright or dim, it
is a
130. The 120 doesn't have the hardware for driving a backlight on its
mainboard.
There were 120's that were modified by Digital Ocean in a way that they
had backlight, too, the electronics for that (a slim pcb board) lived
in the pen slot, and the backlight was switched on by a switch located
where the pen normally is.
