    Computer screen dims when lid is open past 45 degrees


    Every time I open my computer lid past 45 degrees, the screen dims to a point where I can hardly see what is on it. Below that, it is normal brightness. I tried resetting the computer multiple times and opening it slowly, but nothing seems to work.This is an XPS 13 and it is only just over 2 years old. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

    :)

    Screen stays black after opening lid

    Do let us know the following to assist you better with this issue:

    • Are you able to boot the device to desktop with black screen from sleep mode?
    • From when are you facing this issue?
    • Were you able to see any error code/ error message with this issue?

    Hi, Thank You forgetting back to me so quickly.

    To answer your questions:

    1. I am NOT able to get from the black screen after I have opened the lid.

    2. I'm assuming that when the lid is closed this automatically puts the computer to sleep. I can hear noise in the background, but can not get the black screen to go away without shutting down and rebooting.

    3. I did see an error code when this happened, but was unable to read it because I was logging off.

    When I restarted the computer, my desktop would not function. IE when I tried clicking on my task bar, nothing would happen. I powered off the computer, turned it on and it came up.

    But again, after I leave the computer (with lid down) for more than 15 minutes, the same problem is happening.

    I read through some previous suggestions on here, someone suggested to disable sleep/hibernate mode. I did so, and now things seem to be working OK. My concern is, #1 the problem isn't truly fixed, and #2 Will keeping the computer from going into sleep
    or hibernate mode cause issues?

    Computer screen dims when lid is open past 45 degrees

    Closing Laptop Lid Powers On Computer

    I ran the power troubleshooter and it adjusted the dims setting, changed power plans, and adjusted the screen brightness. I did a clean boot and reset the power plans to default but the problem remains.

    When I shut down and leave the lid open, it shuts down and powers back on. If I shut down and close the lid, it stays off. Then to power on, I have to open and close the lid.

    Edit: Closing the lid powers off and opening the lid powers on. It also reboots after shutdown if lid is left open.
