Problem with laptop screen

[Khan]

The laptop screen is dim a/o this afternoon, was fine yesterday.

Dell Inspiron E1705 with XP2

The taskbar symbol says 'On AC power'

Did I change something?

Thanks

Hold the Fn button down, and press the up arrow button several times.

Al, I'm relieved. Thought for sure you were going to say, "Hold the Fn button down until I get back with you. I have a %$#ing urgent appointment."
