Brightness on laptop

I have an Asus laptop and the screen's reeeeally bright. Apparently the F5 and F6 keys should alter brightness, but they don't work...can anyone help? My eyes are going to explode.

Wear sunglasses till you solve it...

I read in a blog that you need to change a setting in the Bios... but it didn't say how...

It seems that your brand of laptop has special technology to make the screen bright without wasting the battery...

you may need to press another key AND F5/F6...

for instance I have to press the Fn (Function) key in order for these keys to work. It may be slightly different on yours, but it's unlikely to be just F5/6 on it's own!

Hope you see what i mean?! Confused
