nc10 screen is very dim

[the_edge123]

Hello,

I successfully changed my motherboard. The problem is now during boot. The screen is very dim. I can hardly see the Samsung logo and after I can not see anything.
Would someone be kind to describe, in blind mode, the key sequence to access to the brightness control option in the BIOS ?
I think it starts with:
press F2
press left arrow (twice ?) and so on.

Thanks in advance

Can someone owning a NC10 take five minutes to give me that sequence ?

Thanks in advance

the_edge123 – Welcome to the forum

Press [F2] (Exit Screen default screen)
Left Arrow once (to Boot menu)
Down arrow 6 times (Brightness Mode Control)
Press Enter
This gives control sub menu

• User Control
• Auto

So if you want User Control press Up arrow once as you will probably be on Auto by default
Press Enter
Press [F10]
Press Enter

Shine a torch on the screen, it will help

Hope this helps and good luck 🙂

Thanks for the tip.

But the combination [Fn]+”light” does not respond.
I will try to find an external monitor.

Your welcome

Is it a new motherboard or second user as it could possibly be related to a bios version issue. Check with a torch obliquely pointed at the screen to ensure the default bios entry screen point is in fact the Exit tab else the ‘blind’ instructions will not work.

I assume you had managed to install Easy Display Manager else [FN] + [Arrow] will not change the brighness.
It is also normally required to enable the external monitor with [Fn] + [F4]

Hope this helps

Now, I can see that I’m not in the BIOS but in the windows 7 boot loader (sigh).
I remember now that I was installing it before being interrupted.

The keyboard connector was not correctly set. I successfully changed the brightness control in the BIOS but the Fn key seems not active. Now I’m stuck to the windows 7 installation because of a bluescreen.

It might be easier to use a usb hard drive connector/adapter to get the drive sorted out on another PC.

Hope this helps

I bought a second-hand LCP panel to replace the old one.
Now, it’s OK.
I will try to find a CCFL bulb to repair the old one, for fun 🙂
