This laptop, like most others uses hotkeys to control various settings, such as volume and screen brightness. Hotkeys are just a combination of two keys. Here is how you adjust the brightness on your laptop hold down the Fn button and use the left and right arrow keys to turn the brightness up or down. Fn and left arrow is brightness down, Fn and right arrow is brightness up. Hope this helps you out!
