How can I adjust brightness on my sony monitor with my hp cpu and hp keyboard

Try using Fn keys to adjust, otherwise check the setting and control panel applications. Could be something wrong with your power plans as well.

are you combining the brightness key with the FN Button?

Occasionally, you may find your laptop's monitor is too dim for your liking. A normal desktop computer's monitor has an on-board menu system that lets you adjust the brightness and picture control settings as you please. A laptop monitor has no such controls. You can adjust the brightness of your laptop monitor using your laptop's keyboard.

1.Press and hold the "FN" key on your laptop's keyboard. This is the "Function" key, which operates much the same way that the "Shift" key does: It allows keyboard buttons to be used for multiple purposes. It's located in the lower left corner of most laptop keyboards, next to the "Windows," "CTRL" and "ALT" keys.
2.Look at the top row of keys on your keyboard for a key with a tiny triangle pointing upwards and the symbol of a sun on it. This is the "Increase Brightness" key. With the "FN" key held down, press the "Increase Brightness" key. On most laptop keyboards this is the "F7" key, but it varies depending on the model.
3.Continue to hold down the "FN" and "Increase Brightness" key until your dim laptop monitor has reached the level of brightness you require. A laptop monitor can only get so bright. It will stop at its highest setting.
4.Release the "FN" and "Increase Brightness" keys. You have now fixed your dim laptop monitor.

I hope you find it very helpful.

Hi,

When you find out how to adjust the brightness on your keyboard and the CPU, ;et us know too, as for adjusting the brightness on the display, take a look in your manual or along the sides of the display there should be buttons to do this.

I hope this helps, good luck and have a pleasent day.

There should be brightness controls on the keyboard. Look for a key with the image of a 'sun' or 'light' symbol.

You cannot adjust the brightness with the key board. If the brightness control on the monitor is not working. It may due the defect of screen control on the flyback transformer. You have to replace the flyback transformer (FBT)

I have an emachine 17" Flat Panel Monitor and I accidently touched the Standby Mode on my keyboard and now my menu won't work right. I can't adjust the color enough. If there is anything I can do to fix my problem it would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have/had same problem. I have ATI Radeon display adapter and in driver settings there was adjustment for brightness. I adjusted that to minimum and now the brightness is pretty good (still little bit too bright, monitor setting 0%). Other succestions welcome...
