Windows 10: Brightness Locked on Low

I dropped my laptop, and it hit the floor not that hard. I opened my laptop to see if there where any cracks on my screen, lucky there wasn't, but instead my laptop brightness was stuck on low. I could barely see anything, I tried increasing the brightness, but it said that it was on 100% brightness. I restarted my laptop, but nothing changed. -Mahin

n82 VERY LOW brightness!

hi, I've just purchased a n82 and the first thing I noticed is the display backlight:

it's TOO LOW!

and the strange thing is that it's not a hardware limitation: brightness is software locked to about 50% of its full potential (with brightness setting slider set to 100%)..

it's very very low compared to n95 or n73 or ANY other symbian phone..

I found it being a software limitation because I tried to install SYGIC (which has an "internal" software brightness controller which I think temporarily overrides the system one) and the screen suddenly became VERY VERY BRIGHT.

if I try to open other applications (or just to open menu screen) while sygic is on background the brightness does not change, but when i close sygic everything sadly returns dark!

updating phone FW did not solve this problem.

and no, my phone is not broken: every other n82 I've seen does the same.

any suggestion on how to fix the brightness? maybe a 3rd party patch-app?

brightness limitation is also noticeable activating silent mode on your phone and calling it: the screen starts blinking with FULL brightness.

thanks in advance for any suggestion.
