    Dell Inspiron laptop, anyone know how to..

    Anyone know how to adjust luminosity while in battery mode? Damn thing tones down while in battery mode and if it's too light (like outside) I can't see shit...

    Thanks in advance.

      hit fn and the up key when your in battery
      Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
      think about that

                It's a BIOS setting, as mentioned - unless you run the Dell software under Windows, which lets you also arbitrarily set it.

                The blue colored symbols/words on the keys are activated when you press with the fn-key.

                  Most likely halves the battery time. Still, I rarely use it on batteries and even when I do it's for very short periods, so it annoys the fuck out of me when I can't work properly for that short period of time.

                        I love it. I have XP on it, with 2GB RAM. Make sure you call them and ask for a 7200RPM HDD, they normally come with 5400RPM SATA ones.

                            check out that Fn key and all those keys painted blue. you'll discover a lot of new functions.
