Dell XPS M1330 Laptop Screen Brightness Problem...?

I have the brightness set up for 100% when plugged in and when on battery, when plugged in it is bright, but when i unplug it is very dim.. using Fn+Up/Down i can change the brigtness between two very very similar settings. i was told possibly changing brightness through BIOS would work. but i have recently noticed on this laptop there isn't the screen, on load-up, that you press F2 (for some laptops) to get to BIOS, so how do you do it? any tips? It is becoming very annoying.Dell XPS M1330 Laptop Screen Brightness Problem...?
What BIOS revision do you have? According to a thread on the XPS forum at forum.notebookreview.com, there might be an issue with BIOS drivers earlier than A15 (downloadable here:

). When you start up, on the black screen that says DELL and has a line growing, it'll say what revision you've got. Once updated, there's a BIOS setting for brightness.



I tried pressing DEL, and F1 and F2, one of them got me into BIOS, I think it was DEL... just try some keys ;)



But really, you should be asking in a good forum rather than at Yahoo Answers, since you might need some follow-up for this question.Dell XPS M1330 Laptop Screen Brightness Problem...?
Its supposed to be like that but you have to press FN which is in blue and on the arrow keys there is a circle thing with an up arrow you click on that and the brightness goes up when its charging and also when its not
