Screen Backlight

[Guest]

When I am running my Dell Inspirion on battery only, the screen lighting
dims. When I plug the power souce back in, the screen returns to its normal
lighting. How do I keep the normal light while running on battery only?
Thanks!

Maybe the battery is nearing the end of its' life.

Consult the laptop's manual to determine how to disable this built-in
power conservation option.

yeh, mine goes dim too and it is not a defect. ---but this is because the
screen normally uses a lot of power and by going dim it helps conserve
battery power. most batteries provided by the vendors are the cheaper ones
that can only hold a charge for about 60 minutes with a dim screen. i can
only estimate but if you run you lcd screen at full brightness, the available
power from a battery may be reduce by 50%

I have a dell latitude that does the same - it is part of the power
management.

holding down the Fn key and tapping the up arrow (which has a blue sun with
an up triangle above it raises the light back up.

hope that helps
