screen brightness

Hiya folks, I've got a 2011 Razer Blade 17" laptop. I've refurbished it and have it running a fully updated instance of Windows 10 with the switchblade UI working as well. One issue I am having is that the hotkeys for adjusting the screen brightness (FN + F8, F9) do not work when Windows...

Just installed Windows 11, but can't figure out how to turn on tablet mode. Can't find where notification tiles that put the device in tablet mode, change the screen brightness etc. are located either

Hello, After updating to window 10 (originally having windows 7) the screen brightness flickers from dim to normal again randomly. I tried fixing it by Display –> Enable adaptive brightness, and change the settings there to Off. which did not change anything. It was suggested updating drivers...

I have a Lenove Ideapad z400 that came with Windows 8. Ever since I “upgraded” from Windows 8.1 to 10, the brightness adjust buttons immediately make the screen change to the lowest brightness setting – unusable in all but near-darkness. - The first time it happened, I updated the graphics...

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...

Hello, As a student I had quite a lot of trouble with my previous laptop's battery. It had an autonomy of 4h in the beginning, but one day, while it still had 50%, it suddenly dropped to zero for some reason, and after that incident the battery has never exceeded 50% charge again. So I had to...

Hi, I observed a problem on my new pc with windows 7. When I try to adjust the screen brightness, the adjustment slider is always in minimum in Control panel>Hardware and Sound>Power Option, as shown in this picture but once I go to the "Edit Plan Settings", the slider is in maximum...

The Venue 8 Pro's biggest problem is now solved While the Dell Venue 8 Pro is a wonderful Windows 8.1 mini-tablet, I noted in my review that the device ships with its display overly dimmed. This change artificially bumps up the device's battery life but makes it almost unusable. Turns out it...

I'm trying to find a new notebook for software development, wanting a touchscrren so I can test touch apps. I've been digging around but not found anything which meets all my requirements yet. These are the kind of specs I'm after: Windows 8 (Pro preferable, but can upgrade after) 64 bit...

I am using a windows 7 Acer laptop, and the screen only brightens when I plug in the charger. Also, the battery gets used up too quickly, even though I have the computer on 'power saver.' Downloading Bios or a brightness control won't work. The lever goes up and down easily when I bring up the...

So I know a lot of computers and laptops don't have drivers out there for Windows 8 yet. But I was curious how your battery life is. I have a 13" MacBook pro and my bootcamp drivers seem to choose when they want to work so my screen brightness has been stuck around 100% and I've been getting...

Aaaargh. Is there any way to change these keys so that I can use them for their intended purpose when I am working in programs like Excel? I don't even appear to be using the right term as my Win Explorer comes up blank . . . is there a fix that doesn't take a geek to understand? Cuz I'm not...

Hi, I recently purchased my HP Pavillion dv5 laptop, and it has windows 7. I have another Windows 7 laptop as well. However on this laptop, whenever I press the f1 button, the help menu appears. The f2, screen dims, f3 screen brightens, so on and so forth. This woulden't be much of a problem...

I have a dell lap top that came with vista. If i was running on batteries the screen was dimmer to save power but I could go to control pannel and overide that setting to have a screen as bright as one using AC. I installed W7 last month and now find it impossible to get a "bright" screen with...

Alright, its an ancient laptop, but with a bit of luck (and pleasantly to my surprise), Vista actually installed on it. However, after getting around the initial celebration, I noticed that there were a couple of MASSIVE problems :'( 1. For some reason, I can't increase or decrease the screen...

Hi everybody ! First, sorry for my english but i come from belgium :) I have a W7 Pro & a HP 6730s. My W7 works fine but there's just one annoying problem, when i'm trying to adjust display brightness, (with FN + F7 ; FN + F8) nothing happens. I installed the last driver (Intel graphics media...

So I just installed Windows 7 and I'm having some trouble with my screen brightness. I installed the OS with the screen brightness turned all the way down when plugged in. Now this is the maximum screen brightness the screen with go to with the machine plugged in. When I unplug however the...
