    Hello guys,

    I restored my netbook to the factory defaults via the "Acer eRecovery Management" last night because I had a virus.

    Now there is one problem:

    The icon for the brightness is missing. So if I press fn+left/right, the brightness will change but no icon indicating the brightness will show up.

    I already tried reinstalling the launchmanager but it seems that the brightness icon is not included. Before I restored my netbook the icon was available (it was like a sun).

    So how can I get this brightness icon back?

    Thank you very much!

    Greetings,
    Speedies

    Try re-installing Launch Manager application, it might fix it.

    I already tried it but it didn't work. I checked the folder where the icons are located at as pictures and the ones for the brightness are missing.

    Can anyone upload the brightness icons so that I can copy them into the folder? That might work.

    The path is:
    C:\Program Files\Launch Manager\OSDRC

    Thanks! :)

    Hi Speedies,
    Are you sure that you had this icon in your netbook originally, I never had this brightness icon in my Aspire 5610z and noticed that it's not in Aspire 5750 either.

    OK, in that case, wait for someone with more knowledge about Acer One to chime in.

    I suppose you've already tried doing the FN key while hitting "+/-" ?

    Also press the FN key while hitting the arrows > or < for the brightness.
    Once you see if this works, then go to properties and see if you c an find the
    string..

    To change the brightness, I have to press FN + the arrows. FN and "+/-" doesn't change the brightness.

    What do you mean by "finding the string"? I can change the brightness but the icon indicating this is just missing.
