Default Laptop Problem
Hi

I just needed some help with my laptop and wondered if any of you could help me.

Do you know when you take the charger out? And the screen goes a little darker? Then when you plug it back in it goes lighter again? Well my screen keeps staying dark. And i've tried fiddling with the charger and nothing seems to happen. And i'm not too sure if it's anything to do with the brightness key...

Can anyone help me?

When it did it on my laptop I would just click the little charger icon at the bottom and it'd go light again.

Yeah LMFAO!

It's saying that it's fully charged and the little plug is next to the batter icon in the corner...which means it's plugged in...but it's still dark lol.

theres a shortcut on laptops, hold down FN, and there'll be a key with a sun on, one with a arrow pointing up, and one with a arrow pointing down, repeadetly press the up sun key till it get's bright enough for you. (if it helps, my sun keys are F6 and F7.)

Erm, go to the little battery on the system tray and right click it (make sure it's charging when u do it) then click power options, then on the left hand side the bottom option will be adjust the display brightness. Click that then drag it too the top
