Computer laptop Sony VAIO on Windows 8 may not change the brightness

I have a Sony VAIO VPCS11X9E and my screen brightness is at the lowest setting for some reason any. In addition, my FN keys for brightness setting do not work. All the means to change the brightness do not work, this does not include the brightness bar when you go into the settings.

I tried both installation driver, checked for any drivers missing or out-of-date drivers, but the only one who seems to be obsolete is my Intel HD graphics that I'VE updated, but the Intel driver update checker says otherwise.
I deactivated AND activated (just in case) the Adaptive brightness, but it doesn't work.
I got Windows 7 Ultimate running before but decided to upgrade to Windows 8. Windows 7 has never had any problems with the brightness. Also when I load upward, even thought I have replaced Windows 7 with Windows 8, it still load the dual boot screen, asking me what OS I want to start with. Starting with Windows 7 goes down several times, then it will take me to repair VAIO system. Windows 8 of course takes me to Windows 8.
When the laptop starts up, the large letters or "VAIO" is bright and normal and sometimes, but not always, when it comes to dual boot screen, the brightness is normal. However, when this happens, as soon as I move the mouse or click on a button, the brightness goes immediately back down to very dim.
When loading upward in another system or startup program, the brightness is fine. For example when I go to Sony VAIO Recovery Center, the brightness is ok. Also, if I boot in something like miniXP or a separate operating system on a bootable floppy or USB, the brightness is fine as well.
I tried many patches of driver, but NONE of them work! I tried to boot in safe mode and try to install some drivers manually because that apparently works, but it makes no difference at all.
If you could help me, even if this does not work, I would be very happy!
Thank you very much.

I found how to adjust the brightness on my Vaio that uses Windows 8, I went to

VAIO Control Center
Image quality
Off the brightness of the display
I hope this helps everyone with this problem.

    I understand that you can not use the USB in Windows 7.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I will definitely help you with this

    1. you get any error message?

    2 have you tried using different USB ports?

    3. any other USB key works on the computer in question?

    4. do the USB works on any other computer?

    5 have had any changes made to the computer before the show?

    Please follow the methods.

    Method 1:

    Run the Microsoft fixit for the link.

    Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems/en-us

    Method 2:

    As all devices have same also have USB device associated drivers. Appropriate sometimes drivers not detected after initial installation so reinstalling the drivers can fix the problems.

    You can check after uninstalling and reinstalling USB drivers if you are able to connect. You can disconnect all USB devices and then perform the following steps:

    (a) click Startand then click Control Panel.

    (b) click system and Maintenance, click System, and then click Device Manager.

    (c) Note if the control panel is in Classic view, double-click Systemand then click on Device Manager.

    (d) If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

    (e) in Device Manager, double-click to expand the "USB Bus controllers", right click on the controller host, click "Uninstall" and click "OK".
    Check that if at all, there is an exclamation point on the pilot, it suggests problems with the installed driver.

    (f) repeat step 2 to uninstall all items under 'USB Bus controllers'.

    Then, restart your computer and Windows 7 will automatically reinstall all USB controllers.

    We would be more than happy to help you if the steps above did not solve the problem.

    I tried to do this using easy access in the Control Panel, but it did not work.

    Please tell me how to do it. I pasted a picture here so that you can get a better idea

    Additional note:
    I have a desktop windows 7 (custom) and a computer laptop sony i3 which is one year old.  Non of them illustrates this notification.

    THIS PROBLEM IS WHEN CONNECT BLUETOOTH TO YOUR COMPUTER KEYBOARD, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR KEYBOARD, BUT IT IS FEATURES RATHER USELESS INCORPORATED BY THE MANUFACTURER OF THE COMPUTER.
    IF YOU HAVE A DELL, LENOVO OR ANY OTHER BRAND, YOUR SOLUTION CAN BE OF THE USELESS "" QUICKSET. "." EXE"PROCESS.

    WELL, after days of looking for a specific response from VAIO, finally I came with a solution for VAIO users whose computer is equipped with a receiver to blue tooth ATHEROS.

    1 - type "regedit" in Start-Run menu to open your registry database.
    2 - navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ATHEROS\VistaAddOn\KBNotify
    3. - the value of '0 '.
    Close regedit, restart your computer and you're done.
    Be careful not to change anything else in your registry, unless you know what you're doing.
    FIND THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION TOOK ME SEVERAL HOURS, SHAME ON MICROSOFT AND SONY, IT IS THE MOST STUPIDEST USELESS FILM THAT I HAVE EVER MET.
    If your bluetooth receiver isn't ATHEROS, simply look for the brand name of your receiver instead of 'ATHEROS' and look for a similar register, it may look like 'BTTray', 'BTNotify' or similar.
    Good luck

    1. press Windows + X key together on the keyboard button.
    2. Select Control Panel.
    3. click on power under Control Panel Options.
    4. Select the settings of under balanced plan.
    5. click on change advanced power settings.
    6 expand the view.

    If this method does not improve the brightness of the screen, turn off Adaptive brightness allow once again.
     
    Method 2: If you still face the question, I suggest to download graphics drivers on the manufacturer's Web site and follow the link below and install the drivers of graphics card in compatibility mode.

  • Computer laptop Sony Vaio tries to install additional drivers required to install disk

    HELLO SIR
    I USE SONY VAIO WITH WINDOWS 7 INSTALLED. I WANT TO GET MY DRIVERS ON A DVD BACKUP. I COULD NOT THEM. WHENEVER ITS ME ASK TO INSERT EMPTY DISC EVEN IF I PUT IT. I WANT TO GET WINDOWS 8 IS INSTALLED IN MY LAPTOP.
    PLEASE HELP ME SIR.
    Thank you

    You cannot back up the drivers on the dvd, you can create the recovery disks, as instructed by Sony.

    But before installing win8 you must first check with support from Sony as to whether win8 is supported on your model.

    You must also run the Win8 compatibility checker

  • Laptop Sony vaio with windows home premium 64 - bit randomly bluescreening

    I had one laptop Sony Vaio for Christmas and a month later he badly infected and had to be wiped. My friend helped me to wipe the laptop and reinstall the drivers and a copy of windows 7 64-bit edition Home premium. A few weeks later I noticed he started bluescreen randomly. A few weeks after it starts to crash any Web browser randomly. He seems to hate Fire Fox, more than any other. It's getting pretty bad now and I really need help, trying to get my laptop in good working condition. I tried several anti virus and malware research but they apparently find nothing every time. I unfortunately did not get a disc of windows 7 recovery of Sony and would like to try to solve this problem without having to pay more money but if needed to.

    Your Sony has been provided with a partition hidden restore and you need to follow instructions Sony to create the defined recovery disc, then visit Sony support and find out how to access the hidden restore partition and the defined recovery disk.

    If your friend has destroyed the car when it installed win7, and where he got that?, you will need to contact Sony support to request the recovery disc game, for which there will be a small fee

  • can not change the brightness in windows 7 on SL500

    Hello

    just installed windows 7 64 bit on my SL500. previously, I had vista 32-bit home.

    granted, everything works, but I can't change the brightness. its default value (which is 85% I think)

    I have the latest driver from nvidia geforce 105M display, but it does make a difference. also I downloaded power management and driver power management but always impossible to change the brightness.

    also, the sound is not loud enough.

    any ideas people?

    Thank you

    Pranav

    I fixed it!

    My SOLUTION: install the new drivers from nVidia, is now operating at 100%
