612714 2007-11-18 05:53:00 My Toshiba Satellite M30 laptop is unable to control the LCD brightness.
It is done via Function and F6 –F7.
From what I understand it requires a program hwsetup.exe that enables the special functions keys and also the cpu speedstep etc.
I have Googled this and although I have found a copy of it is for a much earlier Toshiba.
This program is also available in the M30 recovery Disk (that I don’t have.)
I am also lead to believe most Toshiba Satellite machines that are running XP and have Intel Centrino Cpu’s would have a suitable program in the WINDOWS system 32 directory.
Any suggestions please.

612719 2007-11-18 20:47:00 Thanks. So far I have been able to find a program that allows you to set your own function keys for program shortcuts but none of these are the factory setup that has the f + f6/f7 brightness controls. eddie1 (3003)
612720 2007-11-21 20:27:00 solution is you need to download and install2 programs - common utilities and powersaver - then everything will work correctly - thanks for comments eddie1 (3003)
