How do I keep my Dell laptop's screen bright?

[Chubbz]

Is there a way to keep a laptop screen bright even after unplugging it? I have a Dell Inspiron 6400, and I've been looking through the power options and I can't seem to find it.

look at the keyboard. it's combinatin of the FN key and some screen brightness button.

That's it!

woot! I think dell also has a dell systems settings utility that they bundle that allows you to include screen brightness as a setting of powerschemes.

I have an inspiron 6400 too. Love it. Except that it doesn't have a built in mic, at least not that I can find.

look in the bios for a setting as well

Yup, go with the bios if you want to change it permanently. There are settings for screen brightness when it's running on ac/battery.
