Generally, we'd like to adjust the brightness of the computer screen to help adapt different situation. But we may find out sometimes that we cannot dim screen of our laptop when holding Fn key and the brightness key isn’t work. And the icon of the power in the right corner disappears.

To solve this problem effectively, we can try the following solutions.

Solution one:

1 Check your graphics card version in Device Manager, Win+R, input: devmgmt.msc;
