Changing Laptop Brightness... but keys broken!

Sumanji · 23 Mar 2006 at 22:38

Hey,

My friend wants to increase the brightness of his laptops TFT, but he has broken his FN key, so can't use the keyboard to do this! Is there any way to do this via software?

Laptop is a Clevo 5600D (rebranded under the Mesh name).

Cheers,

Suman

Thanks Defcon5, I'll tell him to try out PowerStrip.

Jimathy:
1) Tried already, didn't work

2) That's our Plan B!
3) It's a Clevo 5600D (rebranded by Mesh).

Cheers,

Buy a external "notebook" keyboard, those have the FN key.

I've found a keyboard that has an FN key on it, but it's USB... will this still work?

Find something flat & thin (I use a scapel blade), slip this right under the key & ping it up.

Will give it a go
