I have a Dell inspiron 6400 laptop. The monitor backlight works fine when
under mains power but the monitor backlight doesn't work under battery power.

I can still see the display, but it isn't lit.

Is there a fix for this?

and DELL says what???????????????//

The fn arrow up worked. Not sure where to fix in the control panel but I'll
