    Hi

    Anyone know how to set the Ambient Light sensor on the M70VM? It's set to auto and I'd like to either adjust it or turn it off but I can't find the options anywhere. :(

    Thanks in advance for any help on this. :)

    Fn+A on M50, probably the same for M70.

    I don't think there's a way to adjust the sensitivity of the sensor, but like Waks said, Fn+A will disable it.

    Yeah, sorry. Fn+A will disable the sensor, and will allow you to toggle the brightness yourself :)

    Cool thanks guys. That did what I wanted, I just wanted to set it so that it didn't keep dimming the screen when I'm in a perfectly adequately lit room...

    Thanks, much appreciated. :)
