Hello thereeee, uhm, I was playing some World of Warcraft and I was trying to hit the numbers and went too far up and hit one of the buttons above the numbers then my screen was suPER dim and I mean really dim. And I can't make it bright. I have Windows 8 and a Lenovo computer with an Intel processor and no matter what I press it won't get brighter. The battery is full and I tried restarting my computer, erm yeah, please answer soon. I need to play more WoW, k thanks.

    The brightness controls are usually color-coded and require using an FN key along with F4 or something up top.  Sometimes it's FN plus the arrow keys.

    You can also press +X and choose Mobility Center, then try adjusting using that slider.

    I tried all of that, still nothing. It says it is all the way up.

    Also I tried using the keys up top and it says it is all the way up and it is still super dim. I tried updating also and nopeee.
