there should be a FN key at the bottom of your keyboard hold that down and press the button with a sun on it. Typically F9 and F10 this should adjust the brightness. Some companies will also give you some software that will be in your start menu that you can use to adjust the brightness depending on if you have the computer plugged in or not. Some bios as well will have a setting where you can adjust the brightness as well.

Compaq Presario C740em

How do I reset my Compaq laptop to factory settings when it didnt come with any recovery disc?
Compaq has some sort of internal back up system, which is quite good i guess, but then you cant go back to factory settings with no disc, ive looked everywhere, please help! By the way, it is a Compaq Presario C740em - Thanks! Also, I think it is important to say: I never made a recovery disc when I got it, so can I not reset it now? Please tell me if I have naffed it.... =S

How do I turn down the brightness on my windows vista, compaq laptop?
I get migraines really easily, and the light bothers me. I need to use the laptop because my school can't afford paper right now and all my notes, handouts, and homework is online.

at the bottom where the start button is at at the right you can see a battery icon click on it you will see these 3's balance power saver high performance the best ones will be power saver and balance in your case
2 :
usually you can hit the Fn key otherwise known as the function key and while holding this key press the up and down arrows. this will change the brightness

On my dell, it's F4 and F5. It's different for every computer, but it's usually marked by a little sun and up/down arrows. on some, you have to hold down the FN key at the same time. Another option is to go to Control Panel/Power Options/Change Plan Settings, and you'll find a slider to adjust brightness. Adjust, save changes and close.

You are going to have to bring it to someone for repair. If it gets stuck at that screen, and it has done it before, it is likely a failing or completely failed hard drive. You will have to have someone either replace the hard drive and recover the data and then reinstall the operating system.
