Here's one for you....is there a button somewhere on my Compaq Presario Laptop that controls the brightness

Question

on the screen.....so that if I use it in the dark it's not so bright?
Don't see one of course but thought I would ask. Thanks.

Answer 1

I have the Compaq Presario V2000, and the buttons on this model are Hold FN and Press F7 to decrease the brightness and F8 to increase the brightness.

Answer 2

Most Compaq and HP laptops, have that with fn key and f7 and f8 keys, but that is not the rule, some times that particular function has an special key out of the keyboard, if is not there any were, some old laptops have a contrast wheel on the side, or you may use sun glasses.....

hope you find it...

Answer 3

Don't know about Presario but your brightness is usually controlled by your graphics card so if you right click on your graphics icon in the taskbar, choose settings, and you should then have several options depending on the card installed so choose display and there should be a brightness and contrast bar. Best of luck

Answer 4

I don't have that laptop, but you should check your manual.

If there isn't a physical option, then most likely it's within your laptop's BIOS (Basic Input Output System).

That's the part when you turn on your laptop and it shows the Compaq sign.. it asks you to press F2 or F8 or DEL or whatever key it is to enter "setup"

Answer 5

I have Toshiba laptop, for me i need to hold down the function key (Fn) and hit one of the F keys with a picture of an arrow that points down with a sun beside it. I don't have any experience with Presarios.
