Examine the keyboard. There should be a symbol on most of the function keys (F1, F2, etc.). Look for one that looks like a sun or lightbulb, either with an arrow pointing up or with the sun/lighbulb filled in. Hold the 'Fn' key, and tap the up/bright sun/lightbulb key a few times. The screen should increase in brightness.

If you cannot find the specified keys, you may be able to adjust brightness from inside Windows. Right click on the battery icon in the taskbar and open 'power options'. Look for a sun and moon with a sliding bar between them. You might also be able to adjust brightness by customizing your desktop (right click on the desktop and look for the proper menu).

+ Brightness up Increases the screen brightness.
+ Brightness down Decreases the screen brightnes

Most Acer's have a Fn + [up arrow] increase brightness option.

Also, check your power settings in the control panel / display properties. Sometimes its set to dim the screen even when plugged in.

How do i make my screen brighter please? its driving me insane!

I have an Acer lap top and there is an Fn (function key) Icon on the <i and the i> keys that mimic a sun device. If you hold down the Fn key and tap the I> key down over on the right sideof the machine, then those taps should brighten the screen. Holding down the Fn key (left side) and tapping the <i key will dim the screen.

My laptop is very dark and holding fn and the sun

The Back-light on your LCD screen is bad, your crystals aren't illuminating, so it is dark.... very dark.

You need a new LCD screen.

Sorry.

Screen on Aspire 3000 is very very dim

Backlight or inverter failure sorry to say. No telling which without substitution. Backlights are mostly built into the top of the screen and are tricky to replace. Inverters are generally sited at the bottom of the screen under the facia panel. Look around ebay for replacements

I can not brighen screen on Acer aspire 1641

I have the same problem at times. Even when I try fn + right arrow, the screen will start to brighten then go right back to dull. At first it only did this when the power outlet was not plugged in, but now it sometimes does it even when it is plugged in. If I reset, it usually fixes the problem.
