Tyler:

What laptop brand is it? Like John said different brand of laptops has
different ways of doing it. If you let me know what brand of laptop it is I
can tell you how to low the brightness of the screen.

Some laptops have a way to turn down the backlight, I know every gateway 
I've ever had had a way. My current gateway was made by acer so I think they

do too on some if not all, usually the FN key and some combination of arrow 
keys or page up and down keys. It's always different. I think I can even 
shut mine off on the current laptop but I can't remember the key 
combination.

Hello list,
I've been switching out batteries from laptop to laptop because the ac port 
where I plug in the laptop died.
They're supposed to come fix the mother board, but that was scheduled two or

three weeks ago.
Anyway, I noticed my monitor light is pretty bright.
Would there be a way to dim it or just turn the monitor off until I need it?
I was thinking about a driver to change the backlight, but I don't really 
feel comfortable doing that kind of programming. Not yet anyway.
Would someone be willing to help me with this, or would there be another way

to do it?

Thanks,
Tyler Littlefield.
