Brightness changes not at all

Model: VPCS111FM

Recently, my hard drive failed and I replaced it with a new hard drive. As I was starting from scratch, I had to re - dl the drivers of Sony.

Now, everything works fine on my laptop except the brightness. The FN buttons work, but no matter what I do the brightness does not change...

I already tried things:

  1. Go into Vaio Control Center and uncheck auto brightness. I can see the brightness bar in the movement of the control center, but my screen does not change.
  2. Enter the Center for mobility Windows and change brightness. Nothing happens.
  3. Enter Power Options and change the brightness screen on the bottom bar. Nothing happens.

Not sure if this is related, but I was unable to dl and install Vaio Update.

Also, I have an Intel graphics card. I installed the drivers for it too. It's may be in conflict with something?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

The symptoms you describe are generally pointing to the graphics driver.  (As you can see the menu brightness appear but the brightness does not change, this means that the hotkey utility seems to work).

You mentioned that you have installed the graphics driver, but there is also an update of the graphics driver for this model.  Have you applied that way?

  • X120e Funtion keys brightness does not?

    I just got the x120e and I have been through the fixed auto-éclaircissant himself. After that, I hit the Fn + Home and adjusted to my preference. He was not on the charger when I did so I was in a dark room I had the brightness down. Later in the day, I plugged it in to charge and I went to make it brighter. The brightness does not change however. All other agents Fn + F keys work. But not both for brightness. The strange thing is, I shut down the computer, whereas standby mode, then opens it again and it was really brilliant and I had to almost squint, but once again the keys did not work to lower it. I closed it and opened it and it is even lower. The keys still don't work. Any suggestions?


  • I can't scroll through sites that I connect. something happened in mozilla firefox. It allows to work when I am connected to a Web page, but not now. all I can do is

    I can't scroll through sites that I connect. something happened in Firefox Mozilla. He used to work when I am connected to a Web page, but not now. all I can do is to manipulate the page through links on the page. No sidebar to scroll or the other. It works fine in Explorer, so I know it's a problem with Firefox, also can scroll etc on pages like MSN, Yahoo, etc., but does not not using Firefox, when I connect to one Web site other than the one which is also a search engine, what happened? can you help me?

    You get a pop-up window or dialog style without menu or the toolbar either? In this case:

    38 of Firefox has a little problem with this combination of circumstances:

    (1) turned off tabbed browsing
    (2) viewing a page in a private window
    (3) you click on a link encoded with target = "_blank", which launches the link in a new window

    The new window opens without menus, toolbar, scroll bars, etc.

    Work on this bug is in progress, but I don't know if the fix will be available in the coming weeks. These are the known workarounds so you can continue using windows browsing private - one of them will work around the bug:

    (1) use tabbed browsing (there is a checkbox in Options > general > "Open new windows in a new tab instead");

    (2) shift + click the links to open in a new window with standard features. or

    (3) change a bunch of hidden settings as explained below - it will not you make changes to the way you use Firefox, but sometimes you need to enlarge some small pop-up windows that have been sized for a window with no toolbar displayed.

    # 3, here are the steps:

    (A) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (B) in the search above the list box, type or paste feat and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (C) for each preference that begins with dom.disable_window_open_feature. , if it is not 'true', double-click it to true.

    You may find that you prefer this anyway, given that sites can band is more these pop-up windows features.

    Who is relevant or do you have a different question?

  • Satellite A100-812: screen brightness does not not & screen turns off after a while

    Some power management features do not work after a bios update (5.90).
    The display brightness can be changed in the power manager, or the top menu system. In the power manager, the cursor can be moved, but the brightness is not set. Toshiba menu system appears to hang on trying to change the brightness with F6 - F7 and won't move the cursor.

    In addition, the screen does not turn off after the set amount of minutes in the power manager.

    What is going on? How can this be repaired?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Some questions; Why you have updated the BIOS?
    Are you sure you used the right BIOS?

    In my opinion you shouldn't t to update anything if the laptop works properly!

    However, try to access the BIOS, set the default settings and save the settings before exiting the BIOS.
    If this does not help, I would pick up the laptop with the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    Good bye

  • Why can I not have all my iTunes on my new phone (6 s)?

    Help! Why not transfer all of my music from my iPhone to my new 6 s 5s? 77 albums and more than 600 songs on my 5, 35 albums on my new s 6? The strange thing is a few albums and songs that were not purchased via iTunes have shown up on my new phone and some iTunes purchases do not have? Help!

    The most likely cause of this problem is that the songs have not been downloaded or transferred to iTunes for your 5s.

    I plug your 5s and then click synchronization; If it asks you if you want to transfer purchases, click Yes.

    Now when you plug your 6s, all content must be iTunes, and all you have to do is again sync. (This is all assuming that the sync settings are identical between the 5 and 6 s) I mean, that is, if you told iTunes to add 77 albums to 5s, but then changed the settings to download just 35 albums, it will only add 35 albums for the new iPhone.

    When you plugged the iPhone 6, what you did to restore from a backup of 5 s iPhone? If you did, the devices should reflect an old as your restore point and the other as long as you have a current backup and do not use.

  • My very old DELL does not start all the time. And when that happens, it doesn't look very good.

    I HAVE A VERY OLD DELL LAPTOP THAT WILL NOT START ALL THE TIME, AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS IT LOOKS LIKE SA WORKS VERY HARD!

    It seems that two things must happen... Three if you don't have good backups (it would be the first thing * if * you have not any outside of the machine.)

    (1) the material must be tested.  By restarting and pressing the combination of keys at the right time could test the hard/readers/speed control (CTRL + ALT + D, on a dell computer before starting at startup of Windows.)  For other tests - Dell probably put on a partition or sent a CD with the machine that allows you to perform a battery of tests on the... video, audio equipment, etc.

    (2) a restoration clean install a factory should probably be made * if * hardware testing are in agreement.  You could probably clean the machine by following the steps I'll give you - but knowing no more about the problem that we are so far... If that does not better... it's perception, or something so serious, that a clean install is probably the only real 'next step '.

    (And if the new facility does not solve it and analysis of material found nothing - that's the perception, or something (material) defective which is not be picked up).

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

    The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know usingGoogle (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).

    As well as the other problemsmentioned screen with the stylus by others, I also have random screen brightness changes that intervene if I use the computer or not. I hope that solutions will be coming.
