Samsung Brightness Level Changing Problem

Hello all;

I have a:
Samsung NP700Z5A-A01DX
i5 processor
6Gb Ram
Windows 7 pro
all up-to-date drivers

I have been unable, since day one, to change the brightness level via the Fn f2 and f3. I used to be able to do it via the Easy Settings but that has stopped too.

I get the green bars when I press the Fn combo's but they stay static and nothing happens.

It sometimes happens with the sound too but a re-boot solves that.

Recently, when the computer awakes from sleep (when I open a closed lid) it appears to run fine but won't open any programs; I double click and the activity icon whirls and then stops. I can open the task bar and choose restart, except that it doesn't and I have to hard reset by holding the on button.

I have scoured the net trying to solve this but to no avail, but I did find this forum.

Has anyone any ideas or solutions.

Thanks in advance.

 

I would reinstall Easy Settings. The program that manages the Fn key controls is part of that package.

Can you adjust the brightness using the slider control in Easy Settings?

Hi John,

I have done that and installed the latest one, no difference.

I could alter using the slider but not anymore; in fact they Fn are very fickle and sometimes they will sometimes they won't; but brightness just won't.

Thanks for your help anyway.
