Hi everyone,
I just got my new laptop a couple days ago. Today at school, I was using my laptop and then at about 10% battery life, the display went very dull to save battery. Well the laptop battery then ran out not long after, and I just turned it off untill I got home just now and plugged it back in. Well, now even afters its charged, the screen is still very dull and looks like its still in the mode to save battery. I cant find out how to change it back so its nice and bright and normal. I changed the performance thing from battery saving to high performance, and I checked in control panel to try and find out where the option would be to turn it back to normal, but I cant find it.

Some one pleaes help, I cant use my laptop like this and its really annoying! I want my normal bright screen back!

I think its something to do with this stupid vista but I cant find the problem!

Hi 2odd

Can you check whether your laptop have a brighten and darken button on the keyboard? It should have a symbol like a sun in the F button, whether F5 or F6. Try to press that button to activate the light or dark mode of your screen

Note:-
Sometimes you have to press a combination of button to activate the function, maybe like a Fn button or Ctrl button together.

Yes thank you for replying.

It was a combination of pressing the fn button and f9. That brought my screen back to normal.

:D
