Toshiba Contrast??! HELP PLZ!

Hi Im new to the forums so if this is the wrong place to post, Im sorry.

Moving along, I recently got a Toshiba A105-S4004 2 weeks ago to replace my 3 month old Compaq notebook. Everything worked very well till about 3 days ago.
When I turned it on to watch Futurama, The contrast was too bright so I was going to adjust it.

Fn+F6 is to lower contrast and Fn+F7 is to brighten contrast.

SO when I held down Fn and F6, nothing happened...
The contrast thing worked before, when I pressed the buttons, the green sun would come up and I could adjust it.


What happened?
Now my screen is permanently bright and I can't do crap about it.
Did I use it too much when I watched my movies? Is there a lock on the buttons?


Thanks,
Wolf

 

Try setting it with your power manager? Also those buttons only change the backlight (meaning brightness), not contrast. From your account this seems to be a software error. I've had similiar problems with the Fn+F2 power manager shortkeys but restarting and some tinkering fixed the problem.

 

Oh yeah..sorry about that, I meant the brightness.
Those Fn keys to adjust the brightness dont work.
I checked my control panel, and i saw that there is no quick launch buttons to enable disable the Fn keys!
Do you know how i fix this? thanks

 

Yes , probably ..

The FN keys are activated by some sort of Toshiba memory resident , you probably disabled it / removed it from the startup list .

Try the toshiba setting in the control panel or run>msconfig>startup or simply install all the Toshiba utilties again from the disc you should have .
