Screen brightness T420 variant on battery - how to stop?

I guess it is a kind of function of crummy lighting, but for some reason any creators in their infinite wisdom have not provided an easy access framework to turn it off.   The screen fades gradually, then brightens when on battery, and it's infuriating.

@Iuccunnu,

Try to do the following.

  • 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.

  • T420s - screen brightness increases and decreases

    Hello

    I noticed on my T420s that changes of screen brightness according to the image on the screen.

    For example:

    -I'm looking at some site with black background and gray letters

    When I pass screen for my outlook or for example firefox with this forum which first minutes white white background is gray and then it becomes whiter and whiter until after about 2 seconds, he moved.

    I thought at first my eyes question, but it is certainly behavior from my laptop.

    Anyone with the same problem? Can do this set by some software/Power Manager tweak?

    Do you use your laptop on battery when this happens?

    It is a setting I believe you can disable in the Intel graphics settings. Mine does the same thing - it's supposed to save energy.

    Hello Bonnieoneal,

    Thanks for your post.  Is the computer that you are referring to a laptop?  If this is not the case, try using the manual keys/buttons on the display itself.  If it is a laptop computer, contact the manufacturer of your system to see if there is a known workaround for this problem.  You might also look to ensure you have the latest drivers for your computer as well.

    See you soon

  • Screen brightness when plugged dims or decreases and increases when on battery

    The power settings seem to completely reverse... When it is plugged: brightness can be adjusted between 0-40%, but beyond that, the cursor moves, but screen remains at the same brightness.

    When on battery: brightness can be adjusted from 0-100% and screen brightness follows the cursor correctly.

    Hi aneela786,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2 when was the last time it was working fine?

    3. What is the number of brand and model of the laptop?

    Many laptop manufacturers have a setting in the BIOS to correct the brightness on the laptop when the power or battery.

    I suggest that you check in the basic input/output system BIOS if you have such an option available.

    For additional help, you can contact the manufacturer of the laptop.

    I would also say that you update the drivers of basic input/output system BIOS and Chipset on the laptop by contacting the manufacturer of the laptop.

  • My screen brightness settings do not stick after that I reboot my computer

    Hello

    When I put my screen brightness for the "connected" by setting the parameter changes on the same level as the 'on battery' setting after I reload. How can I fix it?

    Thank you

    Christi

    Hi Christi,

    Windows can store the brightness level of DC correctly in the brightness of the AC setting. When this happens, you can see that the screen is set to the brightness level set for the battery after you start in Windows 7. To resolve this problem, you will need to adjust the brightness of AC in power options plan. To do this follow the steps below:

    1. click on Start, click on Control Panel

    2. open hardware and audio

    3. Select the Power Options

    4 Select Change Plan settings

    5. under AC section adjust the Plan brightness to the desired level.

  • 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...

  • Satellite A80: Half normal screen brightness

    My screen has acted very normally, until I opened a movie and started to watch it, and then all of a sudden my screen become half VERY brilliant I have nothing appears and half of normal : O
    I n know why and what to do... my now empty screen?

    Please someone help me

    Hello

    To my knowledge, there are only three possibilities:

    -you accidentally used the FN + F6 function and decreased the brightness
    -you used the battery and if the power decreases the brightness goes down also
    -There is a malfunction of the inverter FL.

    I think that the FL inverter is dead and so the backlight of the screen is darker.
    This part is not very expensive, but you will need to contact the service partner Toshiba for a replacement.

    Hi there @billroger

    I understand that you are looking for a way to control the brightness of the display in Windows 10. I'm happy to help you with this.

    Try typing the screen brightness in the dialog box search/Cortana.

    Click on the setting screen brightness element, probably at the top of the list that appears.

    It opens the Power Options window. At the bottom of the window is a screen brightness slider.

    Do your adjustmenst...
