I encourage you to look for parts that you can upgrade, sometimes it is possible to find them for very little money. And the satisfaction of doing it yourself...

In my case I have not found any problem with the brightness control, I continue to do it as usual, using the specific buttons on the keyboard.

I've thought about doing it on more than one occasion (although I don't have a problem with the current one), but then I saw this video:

Has that happened to you?

I've seen some guides... but this is beyond my abilities...
