T61 screen brightness

Hey all,.

I was playing around on the T61 on my campus book store today because I am interested in buying one. The library has the 14-inch big screen with WXGA screen model +. Is it just me or is this view horribly dark? This laptop was next to a macbook, and when comparing the two, it almost seems as if the backlight of the thinkpad is broken or something. Do all you T61 owners out there will find that the screen is really poorly lit?

I'm not anyone who uses a laptop like that... I feel lucky that I don't have the laptop purhcase without having seen one in real life - how Lenovo may sell such a notebook? (Just to let you know, I tried to increase the brightness by using the function key and the key high-brightness, but it was to the max)

Just incase there was something wrong with the laptop screen, do any of you find here it's really low?

Thank you
Ushir

  • 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?

    Hello

    You must install VAP and Support of Flash Card Utility for the FN keys works!
    Installation of VFR will not help you if you should not install Flash memory card Support utility.

    As far as I know, these two tools are not phone specific, so you can choose the VAP and the published Flash card for example utility for Satellite L500!

    Is this true and what is the key combination?

    Yours sincerely
    Riedlz

    Hi Daniel,.

    Normal for thie keys Fn + F7 to increase brightness and Fn + F6 to decrease. But the different laptop models use different key combinations, so I would check your user manual to see which ones is correct for your laptop.

  • 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.

    Hi @Sherzad1,

    Please try the alternative below:

    • Go to Start Menu > search and type "Device Manager", and then launch Device Manager
    • Scroll down to the entry of graphics cards in the list of devices and expand the option. Right-click on the display drivers and choose Update driver software from the context menu.
    • In the menu of the interface that ensued, choose Browse my computer for driver software.
    • Then choose the option "Let Me pick from a list of drivers on my computer"
    • In the next screen, select Microsoft Basic graphics card in the list under the section Show compatible hardware . Then click Next to continue.
    • Windows must now install the selected driver and the display driver problem should no longer affect your screen brightness function. You should now be able to increase or decrease the brightness of the display without hassle.

    Kind regards

  • The display brightness is automatically defined by content screen brightness?

    Additional for my other problem with the brightness of the screen I also have this question:

    Battery operation, it seems that the display brightness is automatically adjusted by the lightness of the contents of the screen.

    For example if I start a program with a dark background display becomes a little darker. On the other hand, a lighter background makes the screen a little clearer. It is not strong like a tap on F7 or F8 - just a little bit.

    Of course, this is a nice feature. But for me who use many applications as it is a bit annoying.

    Can someone give me a tip where I can disable this feature? Found nothing in the settings of the energy.
