Title: (.5 BTC bounty) How to dim the screen on an Aspire One net book. Post by: El Cabron on May 29, 2012, 12:38:14 PM Hello all, I have an Aspire One d270-26Ckk and I can not get the Function key to work with the "brightness control keys" on the keyboard.
.5 BTC to tell me what I need to install/do to get that to work. I am running windows 7 and I have no Acer support stuff. Thank you.

That is not exactly what I am trying to accomplish, I am trying to get the keys on the keyboard to work. However I did check what you said and I can not do it on the netbook. On my laptop however it is exactly like you said. This makes me think it can't be done? Also .5 BTC for helping me get the wifi working. I have installed the correct driver from Acer but nothing, light wont come on and I can not even find it in device manual. Thanks. Check if there is a wireless switch on the device itself and turn that to "on" ??? When you first bootup try the keys without being in Windows. At BIOS screen try using Fn+ combination !

Then go to the control panel and check if the wifi module is enabled. Title: Re: (.5 BTC bounty) How to dim the screen on an Aspire One net book.

Post by: swissmate on May 29, 2012, 02:36:14 PM I'm starting to think that with this computer the brightness can not be changed. I am also wondering if it has wifi :( on your laptop specs it says it has wifi Wireless Lan Acer Nplify 802.11 b/g/n Title: Re: (.5 BTC bounty) How to dim the screen on an Aspire One net book. Post by: ribuck on May 29, 2012, 02:40:42 PM I am also wondering if it has wifi :( I have an early linux Aspire One. On mine, there's a small slider switch on the front edge that must be slid to turn on WiFi. Maybe yours has something similar.Title: Re: (.5 BTC bounty) How to dim the screen on an Aspire One net book. Post by: cmg5461 on May 29, 2012, 03:19:48 PM try switching fn and windows key in the bios. in not, you can re-map keys using software. eg make "e" "fn"
sharpkeys.codeplex.com also, go into device management (devmgmt.msc) and tell us what wifi card you have. Usually each card has general drivers which will work for any computer with that card and OS.
