    I upgraded my cf-30 to windows 7 and cannot get the screen and keyboard dim control to work, when I use the function key the screen icon pops up but the screen and keyboard dimming does not work.. Any help would greatly be appreciated..

    Welcome to the forum!

    If you read some of the stickies it will show the proper order to install the drivers for Win7. Depending on what BIOS revision you have... You may need to reflash it.

    Then you'll need to download the correct drivers and install them in order. All of them just don't install straight away... You'll need to unpack them with WinRAR and then install them manually. I had to reformat my CF-30, MK1 3 times to get the order right and to get everything to work.

    You must use the vista driver of cf-30MK2 for Win 7 and follow the same procedure on installing the drivers. You can download those instruction from pana site. Check the sticky it will lead you to those site.
