How do I adjust brightness on laptop?

Ok...this may be a dumb question, but my laptop brightness is very low and I
cannot figure out how to adjust it. Please help! Thanks!

Press FN + Up Arrow.

Well, I realize that...I have tried that and it doesn't work. For some
reason, my Dell Quickset is no longer on my computer. I do not know of an
alternate way to adjust my brightness. Fn + up arrow doesn't work for me.

Those instructions will be in the manual that came with the laptop.
(No one here can answer, because you haven't bothered to tell us the
make and model, so we can't look it up for you.)

Earlier,you didn't mention the model/brand of your laptop.Every laptop
is different therefore adjusting the brightness on your laptop may
vary.Best option is to go through the manual of your laptop.

I have a Dell Inspiron B130 and I have searched through and through the
owner's manual...with no luck. Any other advice? =(

That was extremely helpful! I was able to install the driver and got Quickset
back! Thanks! However, now that I can use the Fn+up arrow....it will not
even adjust the brightness....the screen just remains the same. Any ideas??
My laptop is brand new...the monitor has been very dark from day one.

issue...backlight of the lcd screen damage...

If you can't adjust brightness from the keyboard then it seems to be a
LCD problem.
As your computer is a brand new one so it must be under the
warranty.Just contact Dell.
