Dell Inspiron 1520 screen brightness adjustment does not

When I try to adjust the brightness of the screen by pressing the Fn key and pressing the up/down arrows, nothing happens. I finally found it to work several months ago. I downloaded Dell Quickset and BIOS update today, but this does not solve the problem. Any constructive suggestion appreciated.

I just tried this and IT WORKED! I don't know how much luck you'll have, but try the Fn key and pressing the up and down arrows while your computer starts. It worked for me. For my Inspiron 1420, I adjusted the brightness, while he was when the screen went black and the words "Microsoft Corporation" above and the Green loading bar going across the screen. That's what I did and I hope it works for you! :)

  • Satellite A100-683 with Win 7 - screen brightness adjustment does not work

    Hello

    I have a model of Satellite A100-683 PSAA9E with Win 7

    My problem is that I don't have a brightness in my dashboard-> laptop Center

    I tried to install the drivers from the site Web of Toshiba (additional package, return), but stops the installation always with errors such as: value added package: PVAT Setup error

    I tried to install the drivers for Vista...

    Please help me!
    Sorry for my English mistakes.

    Hello

    The installation may stop due to system problems or the PVAT erroneous version.
    I recommend you to uninstall the installed VAP.
    After the PVAT has been uninstalled, restart the laptop.
    Now, download and install the tool small freeware called CCLeaner.
    It helps to clean the system and deletes files temporal garbage from the HARD drive.
    After the cleaning of the system registry, you must restart the system once more.

    Now, go to the page of the Toshiba UE driver and download the Toshiba value added Package for Win 7. Note! Choose the right! There are differences between the 32-bit and 64-bit version.

    Unzip the package, run the exe from installation or installation file and start the installation.
    Installation should finish properly and after new reboot, you should be able to use the function keys.

  • Dell inspiron 7559 screen brightness flicker

    Hi, I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 7559 for school, my first laptop ever. It took me about 6 months to finally decide on a laptop, and I am very happy with it... it's beautiful. But I had two problems with the display. First of all, there is a slight yellow discoloration on half right, not a big problem, just my OCD, probably just a backlight bleed or something. But the big problem is that the brightness of the screen flashes constantly. I can only really noticed on the lowest brightness, but I use those so it's a problem. I've tried EVERYTHING. Tons of pilot fiddling, fiddling power supply option. I can't say if it sparkles in the bist of screen or the lcd screen of the bios, but I have disabled the NVidia intel HD graphics drivers and and no matter what I do, it still flashes. This makes me think that it is a hardware problem. If someone has an idea, I would really appreciate it. Do I have to send in for repair, or simply wait a little I read online somewhere that the lcd backlighting should "settle" so he can stop the blinking with takes a decent amount of screen time. Sorry for the long post, but this is my first pc, and I'm a bit picky about the function of my things. Thank you.

    How long have you had your xps and don't know if it's a hardware failure?

  • Satellite A660 - 11 M - brightness adjustment does not work after hibernate

    Sometimes, I find that you use F6, F7 to control brightness does not work. This only seems to happen after a fresh reboot, but after being out of hibernation.

    I am running Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit and using the latest NVidia driver (obtained from toshiba yesterday Web site): 8.16.11.8988

    A way to solve this problem?

    Hello

    From my own experience, I can say that all the FN buttons work perfectly after hibernation, standby, restart, etc.. No problem at all!

    I put t know what is the problem, but in your case would be to reinstall the package of added value and utility to Support Flash Cards. Two tools to control the FN key functions and can be downloaded from the official page of Toshiba.

    But before you reinstall it, remove older versions first. Then install VAP, restart and finally Flash Cards Support utility.

  • Re: Satellite Pro S500 - brightness adjustment does not work correctly

    On my Satellite Pro S500 (preinstalled Windows 7 64-bit) change the brightness by pressing FN - F6 or FN + F7 does not work. The other NF - f... combinations seem to work correctly.

    When I press FN - F6 (or F7) a control box to change the brightness to poster (as expected), but the level is still displayed as "1" independent of the current value (for example changed from Control Panel or with the eco utility) and it is not possible to change it with FN - F6 or F7. I just reinstalled vap and restarted the computer, but nothing has changed.

    Hi asdf.

    I put t know what s wrong exactly but normally the FN keys are associated with value added Package, but you wrote that you already reinstalled

    In my opinion, you should try a system restore to an earlier point. Maybe something messed up the registry, you can start System Restore in Windows Advanced Boot menu.

  • Dell Inspiron 14R 5420 - new keyboard does not

    Hello

    A key on the keyboard of my laptop did not work. I checked that it was a problem on the keyboard, so I bought a new. I removed my keyboard before, so I thought that it wasn't a problem. So I installed a new one, everything is ok. Then I turned off my laptop and saw that the keyboard has been aligned, so I moved it a little more. Now both new and old keyboard does not work. The connector looks fine, but I am not a technician. I tried reinstalling the driver, but they don't always work.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you for you time.
