Use the "Fn" key and the key that looks like a sun.  One is up and the other is down.

there is a green lamp on the AC adapter. does this lamp light wenn the AC adapter is connected to the outlet? is it still light when you push the ON-switch of the laptop?\nIf yes, you have a defective mainboard (more precise, a defective internal power module - this is the weak point of the most Dell laptops).\nbut - if the green lamp on the AC adapter dim when you push the ON-switch, there is most likely a short circuit on the mainboard.

try unplugging power ,and from video board,\nre-attach and reinstalling drivers,\n\ncheck:\n display properties/ settings/monitor / monitor settings / MHZ \nset at 60 or 70 etc. ...\n\ncheck monitor buttons brightness/contrast , default settings,

If you have it set to the highest level of brightness on the monitor and it still isn't bright enough you likely have a failing monitor. I have had the same problem before but there wasn't anything I could do. You can also see if there is a reset option but I don't think it will help.

Is there *absolutely* no power? No orange light even? Maybe the power outlet you're connecting it to is faulty.\n\nIf you're getting the orange light, it might be a video card problem.\n\n==============================================\nI hope you see this, because I couldn't email you because your ID isn't confirmed.\n---------------------------------------\nRe: No Power TO HD Monitor\n\nAh, i didn't read your question properly.\n\nCheck the power pins on you old monitor. The place where you plug in the power cable on your monitor.They might be covered in black sooty material if something blew up. \n\nOr maybe the fuse inside the monitor is blown. If you can open it up and check that out, and that IS the problem, you can get it fixed for a few $s. For less if you have the equipment and know how to solder.

If it came with software, then you could probably change the settings from there.  Or, you could just increase the light in your room where the webcam is.

ur monitor might be out dated. I had a ol packard bell monitor that took 30 min to warm up and then it was blurry and all messed up becasue of it's old age.

disconect the monitor cable from the video card and look at the pins....make sure one didn't get bent. it's way easy to bend one and it will usually throw off the color or brighrness. if thats ok, try adjusting the brightness and contrast on the monitor.

try adjusting the contrast to the maximum value, then adjusting the brightness. then adjusting the gamma to get the best picture

as your restarting the PChold down the (F2) key then scroll through the 7 or so pages. You will find specs. and be able to set the brightness of your display. Be sure to save changes on exit.\n\nWhen PC is fully booted you can change resolution of screen by, right clicking on the screen, select properties, setting and raise or lower your DPI. preveiw changes and select the one that works best.

Its hard to tell from your description exactly what the problem is but I'm going to guess it's a problem with the resolution.\n\nright click the desktop and choose properties\n\ngo to the settings tab\n\nMake sure that the resolution scroll bar or drop down menu is at least 1024x768 or greater. (The numbers might be slightly different if you have a widescreen laptop, but generally higher is better).\n\nAlso on that same tab make sure your color settings are set to their highest setting. Usually 24 or 32bit.\n\nHit Ok, the screen may blank out for a second but it should come right back.\n\nHopefully this will fix it.

Ooooooooh \ntack it easy...\n 1) first make sure that every thing is fixed correctly and if necessary re-assemble the PC.\n 2) reset the BIOS (remove battery or by jumpier)\n 3) finally Chick the power supply (SMPS) connections or change it.\n\nGOOD LUCK

your LCD screen on the laptop is damaged. Send it bad to the HP manufacture as a RMA through their website, they should repair it if its still inthe warrenty
