Dell XPS 13 9333 screen brightness problem

Hello

Another problem with my new Dell XPS 13 (model 9333) - for any reason, during loading or no, changes in brightness screen without saying me things to do (she just made right now by writing this sentence!).

Any ideas on why this is happening? It's kinda like a light automatic on a smartphone but much more random thing! It really starts to wreck really my head.

Any help appreciated no matter how silly it sounds!

See you soon,.

Richard

I found a setting called "enable adaptive brightness" which seems to turn off this nonsense.  On Win8.1, it is:

Power options > change Plan settings > change advanced power settings > display > enable adaptive brightness

  • Interference/Dell XPS 13 display screen flicker problem

    Hello

    I bought my laptop Dell XPS 13 (L321X) in December of 2012.  Starting in mid-2013, I began to experience my screen suddenly blur. I enclose a picture of what's going on. I don't think nothing of it at first, and honestly it would happen maybe once a month.  I thought that it was maybe that I had the laptop on my lap and it was be overheated.  In any case, I don't think a lot of it

    Since the beginning of this year, I saw that it started doing it more frequently.  Last month, it happened more frequently, to the point that it disrupts my use of the laptop.  I LOVE the laptop, except for this issue.  Can someone please help me understand what seems to be the problem with the display problem?

    I haven't tried the connection to the laptop to an external monitor to see if the problem is with my video player or a screen.  It's just hard to tie it to an external monitor at the time where the problem starts, because the interference goes away in 20-30 seconds.

    Hi all, I posted this message a few months ago.  I never received any positive suggestions or solving the problem, so I did what I do naturally when I'm out of options.  I reformatted my entire hard drive and re-installed windows and all the drivers from scratch.

    Pouf!  Problem gone!  Didn't happen for several months.  I guess that there is a bug in the version of the BIOS or display drivers.  I recommend others try this - it worked for me and I am in love with the XPS.

    Good luck!

  • Terrible resolution on Dell XPS 13 model 2015 QHD problems

    With really bad resolution problems on Dell XPS 13.

    I use it for the University, and I'm doing a computer course and therefore the command line is an important feature. The text is completely zoomed out, I've went into properties and maximized the police nothing helps. Here's what it looks like, the image cannot do justice - I really have to squint to read it.

    Most of the other programs are like that too. Unity 3D looks really blurry, Sublime text 2 has the same appearance. Text looks similar to it has been enlarged on a few times so it adapts to the resolution and so you can almost see the individual pixels on the text.

    Here is another program: Malwarebytes

    It kinda feels a joke because the laptop is worth more than a thousand books.

    You may also need to change the resolution on your graphics card because NVIDIA has also been causing me problems.

    Updated, also check options in your INTEL graphics driver display resolution, make sure they match, don't no conflic t with the parameters of resolution on your Dell laptop. THEN, you might have to restart your laptop to see the changes on your screen. Lower resolution will make a lot of new/updated apps updated and programs are all looking mean, BUT your older programs designed for windowx 7-8, and less than 4 k resolution, must appear normal.

  • Satellite U840-10V - screen brightness problem

    Hello
    I own a U840-10V laptop and I have a little problem with my screen brightness from the first day I got it.
    The fn keys work correctly. When I press the button Fn + F2 or F3 I see small panel brightness adjustment, but values 1,2,3,5,6 and 7 (except 4) seem to have the same level of brightness (the 4th is darker).

    (I had problems with my backlit keyboard as well, but when I reset the defaults in the bios it worked perfect...)

    so is that what someone knows how can I fix?

    I reinstalled the PVAT to a newer version which was suitable for my laptop and windows7 - 64 bit, on the toshiba support site, but I haven't worked out.

    so if anyone can help me I would love...

    Thank you...

    > I have a little problem with my screen brightness from the first day I got it.
    Which is really strange.
    It works correctly when you change the brightness level in the plan directly to settings?

    How can I solve my problem?
    Thank you

    Hello

    You must install VAP and Support of Flash Card Utility for the FN keys works!
    Installation of VFR will not help you if you should not install Flash memory card Support utility.

    As far as I know, these two tools are not phone specific, so you can choose the VAP and the published Flash card for example utility for Satellite L500!

    I did it on my laptop and it worked fine!

  • Dell XPS 600 read/write DVD problem

    My system is a Dell XPS 600 and has a DVD/ROM drive & a DVD RW. The drive works fine, but the DVD RW will not read/write or recognize a disc is inserted. The original drive failed when running normally with WIN XP. I replaced the drive (w/Lite-on SOHW 1633 s), responsible for all the latest drivers, flashed the firmware of the disc and nForce4, changed discs and cables, from Win XP to WIN 64 bit with the same results. The drive won't work, except when I insert the boot disk WIN XP drivers he will read and open the files as it should. Can you help me?

    Osprey4,

    I think you're right. The new drive is the problem, and I'm going to get another to confirm.

    I changed discs and the RW still does not work.

    Thanks for your help.

  • On the P750-13D Satellite screen brightness problem

    Hello world

    I have a portable Satellite P750-13D. My problem is; When I press FN + F7, the brightness of the screen decreases.
    However, when I press FN + F6, increases the brightness of the screen. Thus, he works in an opposite way.

    What should I do to solve the problem?

    Thank you.

    Very strange problem.
    Are you using the original pre-installed OS that you got with your laptop?
    Have you noticed this behavior from the first day?

    As a general rule I don t hear big problem. I imagine that you use different powers and for each plan power plans, you can set certain level of brightness. Using FN + F2 keys you can change the profiles of power and brightness level too.

  • Screen brightness problem

    Hello

    I have a problem with my brightness of the screens. The brightness keys does not work all suddenly and in charms in brightness, I can move the cursor, but nothing happens. My screen is stuck at a all time high. I have a Paviion Windows 8 Hp TouchSmart 15 Notebook PC. I tried disabling and uninstalling my HD graphics card, but the problem persists... What do I do?

    Hi Naruto101,

    We have to remove TeamViewer. Check the Add/Remove programs and make sure that all software has been removed from it. If we can't be deleted from there you can do a system restore to an earlier date until it has been installed, using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).

    If you are unable to uninstall with it then you need to get in touch with the Forum of TeamViewer for instructions to uninstall.

    I hope this helps, keep me posted on how things are going.

    Good luck and have a great day!

  • Dell XPS 13 flickering screen

    Hi, I've had my laptop for a few days now and I've noticed a few problems with the screen. It still flashes so slightly at random. Sounds like the screen slightly wearing off random times and is quite noticeable. It happens more when the captain is not plugged. I contacted technical support without help on the issue at all. The room sensor is off, as is the room sensor the worst I have ever dealt. The brightness is at 100%. The screen seems not bright enough at the same time. Any ideas? I reinstalled windows 8 two times already and still the same problem.

    UPDATE *.

    The user that says change the setting "Enable adaptive brightness" to OFF, is good for some people. This will work for some.

    IF this does not work... the ONLY solution I found, dealing with this during more than a year, is to change the projector and back to the LCD screen output. That ALWAYS works for me; However, once you restart, sometimes, it will return to the light but by changing Adaptive brightness allow OFF, the duality of these operations seem to be a sufficient remedy.

    Press Fn button, and then press F1, four times until the output of the projector setting is selected, then let go. The screen will turn black, of course, because the laptop think you use a projector. Then, simply press ENTER, and it will return to the LCD screen. The flicker should have disappeared... until, perhaps after a reboot.

    SO, this is very frustrating since this is supposed to be their flagship mobile product.

    I hope this helps.

  • Dell XPS 420 not go, bright, flashing orange light orange on the motherboard, flashing green light behind USB on motherboard

    I am running Windows 7 on my XPS 420, I had updated the power supply two years back and installed extra ram and an SSD, a few months ago.

    I quit the PC last night, normally

    This morning, it is not booting, the light was blinking orange, including the connected mouse was blinking also.

    I decided to open it and check all connections; everything went well on the inside.  Before you open the PC, I unplugged all the extras connected like mouse, etc.

    The computer has actually started up normally and when I plugged the monitor it looked ordinary, he had reached the Windows login screen.

    HOWEVER, when I plugged the first rear USB component, the computer off and started to blink.

    I'm not sure what the problem is here.  My motherboard is fried?  I don't think it's the power supply from the computer DID resume after I noticed the blinking yellow light.  I wonder if the flashing of the earlier mouse and/or the flashing green on the back (inside the PC) of USB port average something else.

    Any advice is greatly appreciated

    AC360

    First check that all the cables for power and data are correctly connected, including the cables on the front panel.

    No difference and if you're comfortable working around computers, you can try the following:

    Note: The only 100% POWER supply test method, is to install a known working power.

    Unplug the power cord, hold the power button in for about 15-20 seconds, open the case, disconnect the power connector 24-pin motherboard and jumping the Green wire to one of the black wires, plug in the power cord and the power of the system, if the PSU, case fans and disk hard drive performance then the power supply can be good.

    Note: Do not remove the wires from the plug, use a small piece of wire or a paper clip as a rider.

    Extract supply and the system still does not work, yet once remove the power cord, hold button power in a few seconds to discharge residual power, reconnect the connector 24 pin to the motherboard.

    Remove any PCI video card [as appropriate], memory cards, all the devices, unplug data cables and power to all readers, check that the cable from the front panel is connected to the motherboard, without anything else connected to the system, reconnect the power cable and power the system on.

    If there is no difference in the diagnostic lights, of "Beep" codes and/or the indication of the LED on the power button, it would seem that the motherboard is dead and/or the processor and the only method I know to check a processor is perhaps install a compatible work PC, or use a known job processing.

  • EliteBook 2530p - screen brightness problem

    Hello

    I have a new laptop of beautiful 2530p and it's awesome in every way, except a problem.  The screen is nice and bright 100% when it is connected to the power supply.  However when I unplug the screen fades because it is running on battery power.  When I plug the plug back in, the screen don't revert not to sound original brightness, it remains what it was when running on battery power, even though it says that it is the maximum brightness when you press fn + f10.  I have to restart to get max brightness.  Does anyone else have this problem? I am running XP and BIOS is the most recent revision F08.

    Thank you

    Good news. I just upgraded my BIOS with the latest version F0A and I can confirm that this solves the problem of the small screen on the HP Elitebook 2530p.

    Thank you for fixing this.

  • Windows 7 is not supported (the screen brightness problem)?

    I called Lenovo technical support to see if they had a solution for unable darken the screen in Windows 7.  The suport person told me to load the most recent drivers.  I did and then recalled with my file number.  I told them that the suggestion did not work (I knew he wouldn't).

    The guy asked me if I had received the update of Win 7 from Lenovo, and I said, 'no, I bought Windows 7 and installed this version.

    Finally, when he realized that he couldn't help me, he told me that they couldn't give me more help because I had loaded "unsupported software.  Apparently, they believe Windows 7 (if not received Lenovo) 'no software support!

    I had the same problem, I have just upgraded to windows 7 this week and could not adjust the brightness, but after the bios updated everything it worked perfectly.

    Here is the link for all the drivers for your choice of system the correct bios for your system, which should be the 32 bit one

    Download and install the latest driver from Intel HD graphics for your laptop on the link below.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp63501-64000/sp63753.exe

    When the installation is complete, restart the computer and let Windows load fully before checking if you can adjust the brightness.
