What to expect when you visit Barbara the Barber is the same good service. Scalp massage, shampoo,…

I've got an Insprion 700m. Very happy with this one. Hard Drive just burned out though. I just got a new one and now the screen brightness cuts in half when I go to battery power, leading to a bent neck from leaing in all the time to see what the heck is on my screen.. Anyone got step by step instuctions to re-set the level?
