    Cant change my laptops brightness when not plugged in


    Hi everyone,


    Im currently having an issue with my screen brightness adjustment. Whenever my power cord is plugged in everything works great. I can adjust my screen brightness however i want, but when i unplug the power cord my screen auto dims and I cant change it no matter what I do. When I go to setting - Display and try moving the slider bar nothing happens. I can have it set to the lowest or the highest and nothing changes.


    I've tried changing my power plan by going to power options - change plan settings - but there is no option to adjust screen brightness like it says on alot of forms ive looked at. Cant change my laptops brightness when not plugged in 97cfd95d-df4f-421d-bc6c-3dd0d3a8f730?upload=true.jpg

    Ive also tried creating a new power plan for high performance, still no change.

    Ive tried changing it in windows mobility center -no change

    Ive tried updating my display adapters - they didnt need an update

    ive tried updating my generic pnp monitor - didnt need an update

    My windows is up to date

    Im kinda at a loss on what to do and was hoping for some help


    thanks

    J

    :)

  2. Laptop goes brighter when on battery, dim when plugged in

    My dads laptop has been having this issue for a bit he says. He was having an error on boot that had an issue with the battery. And his battery couldnt hold a charge so i had him replace it. Thats all gone, but the dimming issue when plugged in is still there. I adjusted the brightness in ATI catalyst control panel but that just changed the white balance more than anything. I cant find a brightness setting in Win XP like I can in windows 7. Suggestions?

    Hi,

    You should have separate Brightness settings for Battery and Plugged in (Power)...

    I don't have access to my laptop at the moment to provide the precise steps to change the settings.... sorry...
