How to lighten the screen on my laptop?

How to lighten the screen on my laptop? It's waaay to obscurity and the only time where it is bright enough is when I plug in the power cord. I have Windows Vista.

Hi AdrianeJackson,

1. What is the make and model of your laptop?

2. when the problem started?

3. you remember recent changes to the computer?

You can try to hold down the function key (FN) on the laptop and press the arrow key UP while you are on the farm, he must try to change the brightness. You can also get in touch with the manufacturer of the system and check.

Hope this information is helpful

  • Laptop computer connection directly to a projector and cannot see the screen of my laptop

    I'm trying to figure out how to display the screen of my laptop via a projector and also be able to see the screen of my laptop.  When I hit the function key for display on the big screen, my laptop darkens.  I found a post on this forum on the connection of additional views or projector (Set Up Multiple displays). When I go to Mobile PC and display to choose settings listed in the answer (mirrored, extended, etc.) aren't there.  My laptop is running Vista Business Service Pack 2 and two weeks.  Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hello Shawn,

    Thanks for posting on the Community Forums of Microsoft Vista.

    It should probably be shortened on your laptop keyboard to turn on the visible screen (for example Fn + F5). Try these until you can see the image on the laptop monitor.

    Also, follow the steps and try to set the screen parameter as follows:

    (1) right click on the desktop, click Properties, and on the display settings, choose monitor as your main graphics card 1.

    (2) setup that monitor the as a 2nd external display (projector).

    (3) click on apply and Ok.

    Restart the computer to see if you are able to see the screen on laptop and projector.

    You can also check with the computer manufacturer to check if they have additional parameters to be changed.

    It will be useful.

    Thank you and best regards,

    You have the screen image out to another monitor (one that is not plugged in fact). How you pass to the internal laptop display varies, but most cell phone companies make a combination of keys, such as Fn + F6 or something.  Looking for a symbol that looks like a monitor.  It is usually color coded and requires activation of a Fn key.

There is no "graphics properties" option when I click right on the desktop, nor is it a brightness slider when I go into the truly enigmatic Control Panel. ".

    If it is possible to do, it's a feature of his laptop, not of

    Hello:

    Sorry I can't help you further with your laptop.

    The only screen I already worked on that came from an old nc4000.   Only, I needed to replace the hinges. I had to separate the collar trim around the screen which is held with this Goo.

    I have no need to remove the real billboard to replace the hinges.

    Hey mate,

    First of all I must say that replacement of the screen, and the disassembly of the laptop is usually quite complicated and delicate. You must remove a large number of screws, it must be very careful. So it's not easy to replace the screen.
    Maybe you can find some instructions if you're looking for with Google

    And a replacement screen or number, you can get your authorized service provider. Simply contact the guy and ask for help and they can exchange the screen too.

  • The screen of my laptop not turn on after being in mode 'sleep'

    Let me start by saying that I am a novice in computer repair, so advice please put in laymon's terms! My problem started a few weeks ago, when my Dell inspiron 1526 would not resume when I opened the lid of the laptop.  (I rarely have to cut the power, just close the lid) When he started to arrive, I have to cut the power and turn off several times to get my computer to come back.  I did research on the internet for a solution (because I had resorted to all leaving the lid open).  I found one that worked for me... I did the following:

    Click on the start menu, then right click on "computer" and click Properties.
    Click the Manager option of devices on the left.
    Under "System devices", one of the first should be the appliance close the lid.  Right click and click on "Update Driver Software".
    Click "Browse my computer...". ", and then"Let Me pick from a list... ". »
    Uncheck it "Show compatible Hardware".
    In the list on the right, scroll down, select Manager of Volume and click Next.

    It was running great until the other day when I accidentally clicked on the Start button and then put the computer in mode 'sleep'.  Well now the computer screen lights up not at all.  All my family and I spent the weekend all put under tension of the laptop then turn it back, nothing will do.  I am now in panic mode since I use my computer to work from home as well as to take some college courses online! I found a lot of advice on this subject, but all of them are to be able to actually see what is on the screen! I need to know how to put the screen on the first!  I tried to take out the battery and unplug it but that no longer works. I know the computer becomes power b/c I can hear fans and restarting, but the screen does not light.  Help, please! From what I read it seems that it is a big problem with windows vista users!

    Hello

    Since it is not initialize, I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer for more help with this.

    Hello

    Well, the replacement of HARD disk drive is very easy on the Tecra S1.
    At the bottom of the unit, you will find a cover that protects the HARD drive Bay.
    A screw covers. Remove it.
    Then, it should be possible to remove the HARD drive.

    The replacement of the screen is another matter. It is not easy to remove it. In this case I recommend to contact Toshiba service in your country for details.
