Screen Brightness

How do I change the settings in my Inspiron 6000 so that once I unplug the AC adapter, the screen maintains its brightness?

If your 6000 is at all like any of the Dell laptops I've used, you have two ways of doing this. The simple way is just to set the screen brightness using Fn-Up/Down. The laptop will remember separate settings for when it's plugged in or on battery power. You can also set it in the BIOS by pressing F2 when the Dell screen appears.

Hi - on this screen brightness - what do you mean Fn up/down?

Your "Fn" (Function) key is colored Blue, it is located near bottom left corner of your kb (keyboard) next to your "Ctrl" key. Press your "Fn " and your Arrow up or Arrow down key (which is also colored blue because it works along with your "Fn" key to increase or decrease your brightness level).

Hope this helps...

Inspirion 1200 all of a sudden has dimmer screen on battery than on AC. I tried increasing the brightness with the function key but it still doesn't match were it was before.
