509072	2006-12-24 03:57:00	We've got a two year old laptop on which I've just been trying to sort out the lousy sounds. There's an Fn key which is used in conjunction with the Function keys to raise and lower the volume, but they have no effect. Similarily to the screen brightness and contrast. These worked when we got the machine and haven't been used. I'm convinced it's not a hardware problem - but a settings issue. The manual isn't any help. Can anyone advise please? The warranty expires in a few weeks, and I'd feel rather stupid taking it in if the issue is just a setting. The machine is an Asus A4500L running WXP Home SP2. Thanks!	Greg (193)

If you have the user manual with you, go thru it once again, you may find a short cut key to activate this function. You may also phone their Service Centre and they may be able to tell you how to activate it. Good luck	bk T (215)
