How can I darken my laptop screen? I can't find any options in the battery settings or the control panel, and the Fn thing doesn't work. My eyes have been starting to hurt from it's brightness.

if you say what make and model your laptop is we could look for a manual to discover what controls the screen brightness. What do you mean by the 'Fn thing doesn't work'?

Is your function key broken? Is that why it doesn't work? Well, unplug it, see if that dims your monitor. It always did with my laptop.

My Toshiba laptop uses F6 and F7 to alter the screen brightness. Hold down the Fn key whilst using F6 or F7 to turn the brightness up (F7) or down (F6)....

My compaq says go to FN on the left bottom and then F7 and hit till it darkens. Good luck!

I had this issue myself on my Acer. Even adjusting the backlight wasn't enough. I assume that your laptop has an Intel chipset with integrated graphics; most laptops I've seen do. I went into the Intel GMA settings on the Control Panel. Under "Color Correction", there are sliders for Brightness, Contrast, and Gamma Correction. I run my Brightness at -60 and even then I keep my backlight on it's dimmest setting most of the time. I also has to tweak the Contrast a little.
