On my laptop (HP 6735s) f7 and f8 controls brightness. fn and f7/f8 dont work, however, fn and another function key work fine and f7 and f8 work fine on their own. Also, fn and the numpad numbers dont work but the -*/+ work.

Dunno what could be wrong. Suspect something in software or you having chosen settings that disable brightness control, perhaps a power control setting is involved. Dunno why some num pad functions work, and others don't.

Try calling HP.
