    Hey guys, i got an M50VM for around 2 months now and love it. I just have a problem, when I try to bring the brightness level up or down using the shortcut on the Touchpad, nothing changes. The brightness up/down sign shows up on the screen but I don't see any differance. Anyone know how to fix this? the brightness level is killing my eyes right now ( i've been doing alot of school work lol)

    thanks.

    The ambient light sensor is probably activated.

    Use hotkey Fn+A and try adjusting the brightness again.

    It's a key on the bottom row of the laptop keyboard, next to Control (Ctrl).
