How to increase brightness without fn+f6 keys because for now the f6 key is not working

Press and hold the "Fn," or function, key on your EEE PC-1000's keyboard.


Press "F3" while holding "Fn" to lower the brightness on your monitor.

The brightness on your computer decreases each time "F3" is pressed.

Each time "F4" is pressed, the brightness increases.


Press "F8" while holding "Fn" to decrease the volume from your EEE PC's speakers.

Each time "F8" is pressed, the volume decreases.


Press "F9" while holding "Fn" to increase the volume from your EEE PC's speakers.

Press the "Ins" key while holding "Fn" to take a screen shot, or make a copy of what is currently on the computer screen.

I have brought a laptop of samsung rv 509. i have installed windows 7. when i started windows my laptop brightness is low. but when i plug in power then brightness is good. how to solve it?

There are actually buttons on your laptop that are made for changing brightness.
Hold the "fn" key, and press the "Up" button while holding the "fn" key.
Do the same thing to lower the brightness, except hit the down key.
"fn" + "Up" Raise Brightness "fn" + "Down" Lower Brightness
Thanks for using FixYa.

How do I adjust the brightness on my laptop? Its a Compaq Presario V2140US

1. Press down the Fn key at the lower left end of your Compaq Presario keyboard. Keep the button held down and tap the F7 key to decrease the screen brightness by one step.

2. Tap the F7 key again with the Fn key still depressed to further decrease the brightness by one step. Continue hitting the F7 key until you reach the minimum LCD screen brightness.

3. Hold down the Fn key and tap the F8 key to increase the Presario's LCD screen brightness by one step. Keep pressing the F8 key until you reach the maximum brightness for your screen
