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!
-Annie.

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.

Screen brightness - adjust in Windows 8:

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.

    Hello

    > Original driver here on the TOSHIBA page... is too old... and mae AMD driver problem...

    I put t know how help you buddy the point is that the graphics card driver that is available on the page of the Toshiba driver is modified for mobile use and its recommended by Toshiba.
    Usually, you use this driver to make sure that the correct feature for laptop.

    Of course, you can try to use the other graphics card drivers, but in some cases, different version could lead to small different questions: in this case > problem with brightness control.

    However, you can try to install the graphics driver AMD/ATI driver Toshiba UE page but check the driver released for other series of laptop. You might get a more recent version of the driver.

    Brightness last but not the least similar problems could be value added Package update (for Win 7), but also the BIOS update (if available)

  • Satellite M70-239 - problems with brightness adjustment

    Hello

    I ve got this laptop from my father after I buyed a new. Actually everything´s with him very well. But one thing is a little strange, I think.
    My old laptop and other portable that I had before, has the ability to control things like the brightness of the screen when you connect to load automatically. So not for this one. Nothing happens.

    Windows doesn´t also shows the remaining battery life expectancy and other things like that. These functions are not supported by this guy? I ve installed the latest bios version 1.70, which is available on the official website and I m using Windows XP.

    Someone at - it the same problem and is there a solution for this? Maybe you can help me.

    welcome them

    Hello

    Satellite M70 was delivered with Windows XP edition family, and Windows XP Home typical configuration. I imagine that you have installed all Toshiba tools and utilities, so it must there also have preinstalled Toshiba Power saver.

    He yiou can see profiles of different powers and each of them can be configured separately. Thus, when the laptop is connected to power notebook AC power will be the mode full power. There you can set LCD brightness to the maximum level.
    When the laptop is on battery will then serve others power plan. Compare the settings in two power modes and choose your preferred settings.

    Brightness level can also be changed with the key FN + F6/F7 combination.
    Of course, this will works if all Toshiba tools and utilities are preinstalled.

  • Problem with BRIGHT. EXE in QOSMIO G40

    Hello and Hello,

    I'm a new user here at the forum, and I hope I'm posting in the right place :).

    I just purchased a Qosmio G40 well in March and I'm very happy with it, but 3 days ago, I noticed a problem with it, the BRIGHT program. EXE, that controls the brightness of the flat screen does not work (well, it stoped working), when I press the button in the Panel frontal operational, or use the FN + F6 or F7 combination, this does not work, windows indicates that the BRIGHT program. EXE gave an error but does not specify what error.

    Does anyone have an idea why this happens and how to solve?

    Best,
    Ricardo

    That's the problem! If you want to use the system restore then all settings (settings of operating system, installed programs, registry changes, etc.) will be defined at the point of time at the beginning!

    This means that you lose the programs that were installed after the restore point created!

    But it should solve your BRIGHT. Number of the EXE!

  • Lightroom CC - problems with the adjustment brush and stain

    Weird question:

    End of 2012 iMac 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5, 32 GB of RAM

    Mac OSX 10.11.6

    Lightroom CC

    When you attempt to change a series of photos in the develop module I have problems with Lightroom gel. More precisely if I use the spot removal or adjustment brushes after two or three images, I find myself with a progress indicator of spinning at the bottom right of the image and the screen shows part of the image strong and part of the blurred image (as when loading an image is). It seems that no amount of waiting will lead to progress. All I can do is quit Lightroom and restart. But after a few images that the same thing is happening.

    If anyone else has experienced this?

    TIA.

    Go to the preferences, click on the performance tab, uncheck the box

  • G460 problem with brightness screen after hibernation

    Hello. I've owned the G460 for about 2 months now and have noticed a problem.

    I use the laptop at home and at work. When I finished, I put in the system hibernation. After doing this several times (it does not happen immediately), the screen goes to full brightness and I cannot use the function and go up or down keys to change the brightness of the screen.

    I've upgraded to the new firmware to see if that would fix it, but he did not.

    I am running a processor Core i5 with graphics discrete and Win7 64 bit.

    Thanks help RL fo!

    PS: I hate the touch pad. It is not useless, but has a rate of click hurt much more than any other pad I used on Toshibas, valleys and apples. I went out and bought a bluetooth mouse to "solve" the problem.


  • Someone at - it problems with local adjustment in Lightroom 6?

    Software is allowing changes with the local adjustment brush but not displayed selection when I return to photo to refine or make changes.

    As it is I have to understand it the first time or start from scratch. Can't not with Radial, graduated filter, or spotting. This suggests that it is a software bug rather than a hardware problem.

  • Problem with the Spot Removal Tool

    The last several times I tried to use the removal tool the place, he did not "heal" the area that I asked for it to heal.  He heals an area adjacent to the area I want to heal.

    Any thoughts on the opportunity, it's a LR bug or something is happening with my Macbook?  I would like to address...

    Note that I ALSO encounter this problem with the adjustment Brush tool.

    (I know I can do this sort of editing in PSCC but for simple stuff like this, I usually use LRCC)

    Thanks for your help! LJB.

    Change the Clone in the Heal and vice versa does not move existing pine. You will have to redo the brush stroke after changing between Clone and Heal.
