When I used to unplug my computer, the backlight of my screen dimmed to save
battery life. However now it does not do this and therefore the battery goes
pretty quick! I dont know why this has happeded or how I can go back, can you
help?!

It's normally setup via the BIOS. A certain key press at cold
start (DEL, F2) will access BIOS. Usually, most OEMs set
the "Display on Battery" at a 3-4 brightness out of maximum.

It really helps to know what the make and model of your laptop is. Have you
tried searching Google? The manufacturer's website? More suggestions on
