    its the 2nd day i've had my M17x R2... not sure how and where to fix this, but the FN + F4 doesn't work (used to brighten the screen) same goes for FN + F5 (Dimmer)

    it was working last night...but now it does nothing. anyone have any ideas.

    FN works on everything else tho.
    :confused:

    btw my screen is at max brightness...its really bright >.< so im having the opposite problem to what most people have.
