Hi!
I have the problem with the brightness cotrnol with the f8/f9 keys . However its much more serious. The tip of controlling it in before the windows starts works but after reducing the brightness 2 times a strange noice comes from the right speaker. After the 3-4 reductions the left part of the screen turns off leaving the right still on (i.e. only half is of the screen is lighted). There is more.. if i try to increase it back to max the laptop hangs. By restarting it returns back to maximum. I am going to return it to the vendor or i need to buy sun glasses.
I am using windows 7 pro.drivers from their web site from yesterday.
Thanks for any advice.
P.S btw for ppl with the smaller part of this problem only the control. i think the installation of driver update tool form the simenes web page did the trick. it uptade some drivers and after restart it did the same problem as in the bios.
