Title: Need laptop help
Post by: cwinsiii on November 14, 2006, 10:13:49 AM
I have a P4 3.0ghz laptop that when you plug in the power the screen doesn't get brighter.

It just started doing this last Thursday, and the battery charges with no problems. 

The laptop has about 50,000 miles on it running around in my work van.

I have not had any other problems with it at all.

Anybody have any ideas.

Thanks
Clare

its probably just a setting....
You should manually be able to make it brighter by holding down the fucntion key and hitting some other keys, may have seconday symbol that looks like a sun or something

Thanks for the quick replies.

Option number one fixed it,  thanks Rich

Thanks for the reply poorboy

I have a wireless keyboard in the van that must have bumped something and changed the setting.

Thanks
Clare

I oversee our help desk.  It buys you an extra 5 minutes or so to sip coffee before they call back  ;D
