    hey guys,

    so i encountered a problem where the laptop brightness was fixed at lowest regardless of power settings, and the fn+f7, f8 buttons didn't do anything.

    this seemed to have happened randomly when i was resuming from hibernation in windows 7. a restart seems to have fixed it (for now), and i haven't yet been able to reproduce the problem, but i was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and knows the cause (and hopefully a permanent solution).

    I've had this problem with a dv9295ea and a newer dv5t-1135ee. Both with Windows Vista and Windows 7. The only solution is to restart your PC. I am not aware of any others solns...
