    This is a used computer so lets start with that.
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
    I have a couple dead keys E and O, worked intermittently then completely dead for last 2 weeks. Thats 1 issue, new keypad on the way from Japan.

    Two or more driver issues:
    I cannot change the screen brightness. I read about the hotkey issue, which also if you mute the device you cant unmute it anymore. this happened.
    I downloaded the hotkeys driver from panasonic japan. Got my sound working.
    But then once I pressed Func+F2, it dropped my screen brightness 75%, and now I can't get it to go up or down. Both F2 and F3 work, the display shows the key being activated but the brightness slider does not move.
    Also do not have the option under display in power management to change the brightness

    Issue two: It does not recognize a TV plugged into the HDMI port. I uninstalled the basic VGA driver, rebooted. Nothing auto installed. Plugged HDMI cable in, basic VGA driver auto reinstalled-still no secondary monitor available.

    I'll spare you guys the rest of the steps I have done interim, im sure you know more about these things than me.
    Open to suggestions.

    Thanks.
