Power cord screen brightness variation and no brightness adjustment

For some reason, it just happened by chance. When my power cord is inserted into my laptop instead of the increase in brightness of the screne, it decreases and her pretty dark as well and I don't know how to get back to the top.

Anyone have any idea whats going on. Because I haven't yet touched it and it just went.

Please can someone help, because it's very difficult because I can barely see anything.

This product Tag number you provided is not coming as valid on the Dell site.  Please check again - I know it is difficult to read because it is so small.  So I could not check the details on your machine, but I don't know if this will help because Dell doesn't offer a lot of information on how to control hardware devices on their systems.  But if you check and send me the correct code, I'll try to cehck and see anyway.

I found the following on the Dell site and don't know if it applies to your specific system, but this is something we have not tried, so it is worth it.

Adjust the brightness

"To set the screen LCD Brightness hold FN key and press the up arrow to increase the brightness.
or just holding the key FN and press the down arrow to decrease the brightness. »

Here is a thread in the Forum of Dell, I found on the issues of brightness with the Dell Inspiron 1545.  It includes the same procedure described above - but it includes a position that most of these problems is caused by problems with the motherboard.  I don't know if this is the problem, but if it is then, we deal with a hardware problem and not a software problem.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • By pressing F2, F3, F4 and similar keys makes functions such as screen brightness adjustment... How can I disable that I can't play FSX?

    Hi reading FSX, I must be able to use, hold the keys such as F2, F3, F4, etc.. However, on my new computer, these same keys does things such as adjusting the screen brightness and raise a few weird screen, instead of performing the function of game. I would like to know if there if there is a way to disable it or put so that she will only perform the function of play instead of these functions. I used to have a 2009 computer that has Windows 7, but the keys on the top did not have these features. The F keys on this computer are displayed to do things like play, rewind, fast forward, go directly to the support centre, and as I mentioned previously set things and the brightness of the screen. It's pretty boring, and I need to be disabled to play FS as well as other games.

    Thank you

    The HP DV7 series uses the BIOS to control whether the keys F1-F12 > act as F1, F2, etc. or as the Fn + F1, Fn + F2, etc.

    Reboot the laptop and start typing F10 as soon as he starts under tension. Enter in the BIOS, and then select the System Configuration screen. There is an option for the Keys of Mode of Action , you need to change. I regret that I have not more specific instructions, but your user manual should have details.

    Save the changes to the BIOS settings and restart the computer. Now, brightness, volume, etc. will be controlled by a combination of keys Fn + F1-F12 > and your F1 through F12 keys should work normally for programs and games.

  • Dell Inspiron 1520 screen brightness adjustment does not

    When I try to adjust the brightness of the screen by pressing the Fn key and pressing the up/down arrows, nothing happens. I finally found it to work several months ago. I downloaded Dell Quickset and BIOS update today, but this does not solve the problem. Any constructive suggestion appreciated.

    I just tried this and IT WORKED! I don't know how much luck you'll have, but try the Fn key and pressing the up and down arrows while your computer starts. It worked for me. For my Inspiron 1420, I adjusted the brightness, while he was when the screen went black and the words "Microsoft Corporation" above and the Green loading bar going across the screen. That's what I did and I hope it works for you! :)

  • My PC screen brightness adjustment

    I recently uninstalled the Windows 8 bases on my 255 HP and installed windows pro 8.1 build 9200. What bothers me, is that I can't turn down the brightness of my laptop and hurts the eyes and a laptop that is discharged in an hour to show for it. I have tried everything to try to adjust the brightness in Power Options in Control Panel to install several display drivers with no avail. I tried the upgrade of Microsoft's Visual display card and it didn't work. What the * is false? Please I need help. My head is pounding because of the wounds of the eye.

    Thanks in advance...

    Panashe salvation,

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    How you adjust the brightness and contrast varies and depends on your specific display. Laptop displays is not brightness or contrast buttons on the front. For the majority of laptops, there is not a control for adjusting the contrast. However, you can set the brightness of many laptops by pressing the Fn key and pressing a function key to decrease brightness or increase the brightness.

    Check that you have installed all the latest Windows including optional and important. Install the driver and the following utilities.  You will be able to adjust the brightness using the function keys.

    Also be sure to only install the driver from the computer manufacturer's website was last updated.

    Let us know the status.

  • Satellite A100-683 with Win 7 - screen brightness adjustment does not work

    Hello

    I have a model of Satellite A100-683 PSAA9E with Win 7

    My problem is that I don't have a brightness in my dashboard-> laptop Center

    I tried to install the drivers from the site Web of Toshiba (additional package, return), but stops the installation always with errors such as: value added package: PVAT Setup error

    I tried to install the drivers for Vista...

    Please help me!
    Sorry for my English mistakes.

    Hello

    The installation may stop due to system problems or the PVAT erroneous version.
    I recommend you to uninstall the installed VAP.
    After the PVAT has been uninstalled, restart the laptop.
    Now, download and install the tool small freeware called CCLeaner.
    It helps to clean the system and deletes files temporal garbage from the HARD drive.
    After the cleaning of the system registry, you must restart the system once more.

    Now, go to the page of the Toshiba UE driver and download the Toshiba value added Package for Win 7. Note! Choose the right! There are differences between the 32-bit and 64-bit version.

    Unzip the package, run the exe from installation or installation file and start the installation.
    Installation should finish properly and after new reboot, you should be able to use the function keys.

  • Problems with brightness adjustment

    Hello!

    I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 8 Pro. It's a Sony Vaio S Series, aged only two days.

    My eyes are very sensitive to light, so I kept the brightness on my old laptop less over time, but it won't let me change the brightness settings.

    I tried to change it on the charms of the bar, as well as the settings of the power plan and the Fn keys, but every time that I change it, it immediately self-aggrandizing ' adjusts to full intensity. I tried searching through the peak power plan settings, but cannot find the setting to turn off the automatic setting.

    He will show me he peut change brightness, but that he will not remain at the level I want for more than half a second.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi, Annie

    It seems that everyone wants to control the brightness on your computer, Windows, Sony, hardware, etc.

    Here are links to some tutorials with more information on how to do this.

    Adaptive brightness - turn on or off in Windows 8:
    http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/6042-Adaptive-brightness-turn-off-Windows-8-a.html

    If you have this installed, it has a brightness adjustment of the automatic screen in the Vaio control center, look in the section view .

    Open Control Panel and select Power Options. On the left side, at the bottom of the screen, click the Windows Mobility Center .

    If none of these help, I would recommend that ask you this question on the Sony Support Forums. Someone may have found the magic options to solve this problem on your model.

    I have a hp w2338h monitor, running Windows 7 and I am unable to turn off the monitor through the top switch. The power cord seems loose in its connection to the monitor. Do I just a new cord or something else is necessary?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Try to push the power cord firmly upward.  It should not move when it is completely inserted.

    Try a reset of the monitor. Unplug the power cord from the monitor and hold the power button of the monitor for 30 to 60 seconds. Plug the monitor back in and it lights up.

  • Aspire gel mouse/Touchpad V7 - 482PG when connect power cord (Windows 10)

    Greetings,

    I'm having this strange problem in my V7 after upgrade to Windows 10:

    When I plug the power cord of the keyboard and the touchpad and mouse gel (I use a Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse and touchpad in my V7 is a Synaptic).

    -If I unplug the power cord, all thaws.

    -If I plug the cord by moving the cursor, either with the mouse or the keyboard , then they don't freeze and I can work normally.

    -Of course if I start the laptop with the power cord already plugged, everything works normally and if I unplug the power cord, there is no freeze.

    The problem occurs only when the laptop runs on batteries and I plug in the power cord and the only solution is to move the mouse while plugging in the power cord. It's really annoying.

    I installed all the drivers on the Acer support and page also tried several combination of new drivers older drivers etc. This never happened in Windows 8.1.

    I don't know what else to try. I hope someone could help with this issue.

    Thank you and best regards,
