I have not been able to find such an option for my Compaq laptop. It does
get a bit dimmer if I run it on the internal battery instead of off of A/C
power.

Unless Compaq has completely omitted the function, there should be two
keys with a sun-looking thing printed on them in (blue?) ink - either
the up or down arrows, or somewhere in the function keys. Press the
Fn and appropriate key together, it should adjust the brightness. The
half-moon looking thing is for contrast.
