I have a 17" Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro running latest OS.

Can anyone give me a clue as to what else I can do to get function keys F1 and F2 controlling my screen brightness again? They stopped working a while ago - no idea why. Screen brightness can still be controlled using System Preferences, but when I hit F1 or F2 all I get is an error beep.

I've reset the PMU - didn't fix it.

Hello Steven,

System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse - Keyboard

Do you have ticked ‘Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys’

If you do, you have to press Fn to get hardware functions (e.g. you have to press Fn+F1 to decrease brightness, Fn+F2 to increase brightness).

Cheers,
Ronni
