    Brightness problem due to Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Method Battery driver


    Hello. I have a Lenovo PC and there is a problem with the brightness. My laptop suddenly goes dim even if the brightness is set high and the battery plan is the bright screen plan. This happens when my laptop is not plugged in.

    • When the laptop is plugged in, the brightness problem disappears. On unplugging again, the problem comes back.
    • It happens even when the battery level is high.
    • The problem is temporarily fixed by restarting the laptop. But the issue recurs.
    • When I disabled Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Method Battery driver, the brightness is restored. But it returns to the original state when the driver is enabled.


    I do need the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Method Battery driver, but this problem is annoying, especially when my charger is not around and the screen goesvery dim.


    Please post a solution for this problem. The same problem was posted by a user with a HP laptop and the solution posted asked the user to check with HP Customer Support. But I feel its a problem with the driver or the power management of Windows.


    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method: What has to do with battery?

    Yes, it is one of the things to try before deciding the battery is faulty. Uninstall it in Device Manager and scan for hardware changes. Device Manager will reinstall it again. ACPI stands for 'Advanced Configuration and Power Interface'.
