Lower the brightness of laptop to 0

I have recently reinstalled Windows 7 Professional on my Dell Latitude E6430. I used to be able to use the brightness controls to lower the brightness to complete black when I didn't need the screen is visible. I can't do that.

I have the latest updates from Windows update over the latest drivers from Dell.

I looked online, but most of the questions no longer covers the brightness is not not bright enough or brightness controls works do not at all.

Any help solving this would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Given that the driver software of hardware that depends on, and it became a problem after a re - install, I am betting that you can get it sorted by topic to the dell download page and reinstall the driver.  Don't forget Windows Update drivers are at the base, you will certainly find them in the download page on dell.com.

Dell has excellent support click-to-chat on their site, so you can type in the service of your tag number Latitude and chat with a Dell expert. They are in a better position to know what version of driver is necessary to get the pre-existing (pre-installed) functionality.

  • No option to change the brightness on laptop HP 2000

    Hello!

    Until yesterday, I had no problem changing the brightness on my laptop.

    Last night - I tried pressing the brightness function keys, the bar should go up and down, but brightness has not changed. Then, I went into options power and changed the brightness slider on the plan that I used, no change.

    Today - now when I press the function keys, does nothing and the bar does not appear on the screen. When I go into the options of power plan, the slider for brightness is no longer present. When I go into the settings of charms, the brightness option is faded and says "not available: Windows cannot adjust the brightness of the display. Enter the options of mobility, the cursor is present but it does nothing to move vertically.

    Things I did so extreme - checked the driver (who had not put to day for a month, since I bought this laptop), uninstalled and let the system reinstall when I rebooted, got a few older versions and manually installed them as a return to the basic display adapter, all to nothing does not. The only thing that works (almost) is the graphical control panel intel. There is a 'brightness' option, but it isn't really light... its more of a relief of the colors used rather than a burst of real light. I downloaded the so-called Hp My Display in the same direction.

    Can someone help me? Please, I don't know what the reason even the ability to change the brightness being removed... I have not updated anything manually (until later, I noticed the problem). I am the administrator and the only user of this laptop.

    And it is the current driver, that I installed it, which I believe is the most recent. However, I begin to doubt that he is still a driver problem...

    Please, I'm getting a headache... Thanks in advance for any help! I'm not super computer savvy, but I'll try all the solutions!

    I seem to have (finally) solved the problem.

    I had installed Splashtop Streamer of office about two weeks ago... To the people who read this with a similar problem, Splashtop lets you remote access to your desktop from another device (phone, Tablet). I chose Restore my computer just before the hour, it is installed.

    I couldn't restore first because windows said-

    "System Restore failed, files, and your computer's settings have not changed.
    Details;
    System Restore could not access a file. This is probably because an antivirus program is running on the computer. Temporarily disable your antivirus and restart System Restore.
    An unspecified error occurred during the restoration of the system, (0x80070005).

    Tried about five times (gad!) before finally being able to restore by (sorry if my instructions are vague) go to control panel - system and safety - administrative tools - services - microsoft software shadow copy provider - right click - properties - change type of automatic manual start - stop and start the service again.

    I also uninstalled my antivirus (AVG) because just disable initially did not work. I don't know which of these two solutions have finally made it work, but I'm just happy that I am finally able to change my brightness again. All the options in the charms and the power plan options and my function keys work again.

    I guess that changes something Splashtop in the display configuration (logical when I think about it now, but he has not touched me for two weeks, I guess why I did not both together)

  • Questions about the scale of the DPI and the brightness of the screen on Satellite L350-145

    I'm trying to customize a L350-145 (screen 17 ") to a user who has some problems of Visual discomfort (difficulty with bright screens and small print).

    (1) ease of access of Vista, control panel DPI scale offers two resolutions, 96, and 120. Even the 120 is a bit small for this user, so I put a custom DPI to 144 (150%). However, I anticipate that some applications could not deal with this font size, so I intend to create a second user that the user could switch to which still had the standard DPI setting. However, to try this I find that change the DPI for one user affect the users of the computer. The DPI is implemented by not part of the user profile?

    (2) I set the brightness level to 1 (through power settings). However, even if this is a little live sometimes. Is there another way to lower the brightness of the screen further away?

    Thank you

    2. do you can not go lower. I guess you could buy a filter sieve that filters glare.

  • Dysfunction of the brightness of the screen - Satellite M100

    Hello

    I have a strange problem with my Toshiba m-100.
    The brightness of the screen seems to not work in reverse. So when windows starts even if the computer is configured for the brightness of the full screen, it shows also very dark. When to use the keyboard function keys to lower the brightness, the brightness of the screen actually increases.

    Because I can't dim the brightness of the screen completely, and because the settings seem to work on the other hand, I can't the computer screen to display its maximum intensity.

    Sorry if this is confusing!

    Has anyone ever encountered this problem and someone has any advice on how I can solve this problem. I hope to be able to fix it without having to reinstall windows and software from toshiba.

    Thanks for your help, it would be much appreciated.

    I'm not sure if I understand this correctly. you mean that your screen brightness decreases when you use FN + F7 and increases if you use FN + F6. Is this good?

    Usually the FN + F6 decrease display brightness and FN + F7 increases the brightness.

    I have no idea why this work the other way around, but I think you should check the configuration of the profile of Toshiba Power Saver. Usually each profile supports different screen brightness settings. You can set it to max level and may assign this profile standard profile.

    I; m, I was wondering if this would solve your problem

  • Why the brightness of the screen on my Tablet keep changing suddenly?

    Why the brightness of the screen on my Tablet keep changing suddenly?

    Some tablets have a light sensor Adaptive that detects the actual brightness in the room and adjusts the brightness of the screen accordingly.  If the light hitting the sensor is constantly changing, or if you accidentally cover this sensor with your hand or thumb, it can fool the sensor into thinking that you are in a room dark and it will lower the brightness on the screen.

    In Windows 8, the Adaptive brightness setting is enabled by default.  You may be able to prevent unwanted changes in the brightness of the screen by deactivating the Adaptive brightness setting.

    1. on the home screen, type Control Panel , and select the control panel.

    2. set the display: drop-down category menu

    3. Select the material and audio.

    4. Select Power Options.

    5. Select the link Edit plan settings on your current power plan

    6. Select change advanced power settings

    7. develop the display

    8 expand enable adaptive brightness

    9. set the setting to Off , then select OK.

  • HP Pavilion 15 laptop: Cannot control the brightness of the screen

    Hello!

    I can't control the brightness of the screen of my laptop. The problem started about 2-3 days ago.

    I'm trying to fit it through the keyboard, and also through the power Panel, but it is still on the minimum brightness...

    I also noticed that the brightness of the keyboard keys are not functionnig well: when I click on one of them (more or less brightness brightness), it shows me the brightness slider, but he won't go up or down by pressure of the keys... only if I drag with the mouse. And yet, no adjustment of the brightness.

    Could you please help me?

  • 100 s-11IBY computer laptop (ideapad) - cannot adjust the brightness of the screen - windows 10

    Hello my f11 and f12 keys is no longer adjust my brightness. The gauge up and down, but does not change the brightness. I tried to update the graphics card in Device Manager, but he says that it is up-to-date. Same thing with 'Generic PNP Monitor' said that it is up-to-date. I wiped the computer clean and 'reset' and reinstalled windows and it still does not allow me to adjust the brightness of the screen

    I'm not incredibly intuitive with computers, but I followed the instructions as much as I could find during my research online with nothing doesn't.

    Initially, the problem occurred when I used out of ignorance a program to install the drivers it says have been exceeded. After that, my audio stop working and my keyboard stop working entirely. After resetting the computer and windows resettled, the only question that remains is the brightness of the screen not being able to be adjusted.

    This drives me crazy, can anyone help me? I would be very happy! and please let me know if you need more information regarding my laptop. Thank you!!

    I thought about it. My drivers intel had to be installed since I reinstalled windows. I used the utility of intel and updated driver to update the graphics card update
