1.2. Question:
The Brightness ( Fn+F8, F9 ) and contrast ( Fn+F10, F11 ) keys do not work?
Answer:
Usually, the brightness adjustment is so trivial that human eyes cannot tell the difference. It is
easier to see the changing of brightness in Windows environment rather than DOS
environment. Please also note that the contrast control keys ( Fn+F10, F11 ) do not work with
TFT but DSTN/HPA notebooks. For a better sense of brightness adjustment, please change
the background to white color if possible.
