    i was installing a new set of speakers in my already heavily modified aspire one and when i switched it back on i ended up with a strange problem the fn + <> wont control the screen brightness any more. i have tried in the bios and in 3 different operating systems so i assume its some kind of hardware fault. the keys them selves are working ok both fn button and the arrow keys . i can use the fn + arrows for the volume just not for the brightness.

    any ideas?
