My first problem is that, apparently, you cannot make the screen brighter on some lenovo laptops with windows 8. The Brightness- button is working, but once you make the screen dimmer, you cannot make it bright again using the brightness settings. I found out however that you can revert by...

For some reason my computer has just started turning the brightness on my laptop to 100% when the battery is connected. This is a seriously pain in my eyes and i usually keep my brightness around 20 unless watched videos. So at first i would just alter the display settings of the 'Balanced...

So I was changing the settings for my battery and all of a sudden, I wasn't able to change my brightness. Not with the fn shortcut and I can't even go to the settings and lower the brightness manually. It doesn't work! I really don't want to keep staring at my screen because it is making my eyes...

I just recently purchased the ASUS ROG G750JM-DS71. I noticed that I can't seem to the get the display to be in full brightness. For example when booting it up, the brightness seems much higher, and after a few seconds at the desktop the screen would suddenly get darker. The brightness is indeed...

I'm having a problem with my screen brightness setting. I'm currently using a (very old) dell latitude e6400 with Windows 7 while my normal laptop is being repaired. The battery is shot, so it only runs for about 30 seconds without being plugged in. A few days ago, the screen went extremely dim...

So yesterday I was tampering with the energy settings to find ways to make my computer consume less electricity.

On a brightness scale of 0-10, my Asus laptop is a .5 I can only see it with room lights off. A friend told me it might be the display inverter so I ordered one. However, it will take a month from Hong Kong. Does this sound like the right approach? Or is there something else that could cause this?

The display on my Fujitsu Lifebook A530 is so bright it's actually painful to watch. Especially at night. I have tried the F6-F9 keys (marked ▼ ▲ ▼ ▲) that I think are supposed to adjust brightness/contrast but no go. Any ideas as to what to do? Yeah, shades - but that somehow seems so low-tech.

As long as the power cable is plugged in in my notebook the brightness of my display is fine. But when I plug it out and use the battery the brightness becomes suddenly darker. Why? How can I prevent this switch-to-dark-screen? I found no corresponding option in the power plans Peter

Hello, My boyfriend has my old Medion Akoya MD97620 P6618 laptop. Its had a new battery bought and recently a new hard drive bought. We installed Windows 7 on it, which is obviously a clean install due to the hard drive being blank and new. We have just discovered that the FN + Brightness Up...

I have my power options set so when my laptop is plugged in my screen brightness is around 100%, and when unplugged it's around 30%. I've noticed on a number of occasions that if I turn the brightness up with my keyboard keys when it's unplugged Win 7 forgets what my screen brightness settings...

I use Pangobright because the brightness of my Toshiba laptop doesn't go as low as I want it to be, when I'm using the laptop in complete darkness. But Pangobright also doesn't seem to go as low as possible, and when I dim it too low, I can't see a part of the screen unless I'm looking down at...

My laptop wakes up for no reason after I put it to sleep. I unplugged my USB things and it still doesn't solve. When I do powercfg -lastwake it gives me this: Wake History [0] Wake Source Count - 1 Type: Fixed Feature Power Button Help! This does not have to do with an outdated driver(Most...

I have scoured the internet over the past couple of days looking for information about how to get the webcam and card reader working in windows 7 64 on this laptop. I am a sys-admin by trade but this has me stumped, and I see other forums members might have more knowledge about this. I found...
