hillfamily Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 depends what sort of laptop you're on..............but normally there is a key with what looks like a sunshine symbol on it - sometimes 2 keys with a big sunshine for brighter......smaller sunshine for less bright. i hope that technical assistance helps...........until someone who knows what they are talking about comes along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
