Fn+Up Arrow/Down Arrow: Increase/Decrease Screen brightness

Posted in laptop by estephen on May 18th, 2007

For many laptops, pressing Fn+Up Arrow will increase the brightness of the screen (decreasing battery life), while pressing Fn+Down Arrow will decrease the brightness of the screen (increasing battery life, but also increasing how much you need to squint to read the screen).
