    Hi all,

    We have a Latitude D820 but the fn key isn't working anymore. We have attached an external keyboard but can't figure out what combination of keys to use to adjust the brightness/contrast.

    Would appreciate any help.

    Thanks in advance.

    Brightness can also be changed through DELL Quickset application, if you don't already have it, download from here. For contrast you'll have to change video driver settings, AFAIK there is no hardware monitor contrast setting.
