Hmm. This should "just work". Most laptops have a Fn+<Key> combination to de-/in- crease the screen brightness. Do you not have a some blue letting on your keyboard that would indicated brightness up and down?

Failing that, you could try the brightness app, which should be like a white "sun" in your top. Just click on it and change the slider position. It looks like the icon above the closing quotes, and to the right of the speaker:
