How Do You Troubleshoot A Dim Laptop Screen?
If your laptop screen is dim or growing dimmer, there are several things that you can check and fix yourself before resorting to professional help. These are straightforward processes that even the novice computer user can perform. Check to see if your laptop is running on battery power. If the laptop is running on battery power, plug it into its AC adapter. If this fixes the problem, then the source of the problem is likely the power conservation settings. Click on the control panel and then open “Power options.” This will give you a window that allows you to change how bright the laptop screen is when it is running on battery power. After selecting the option that you desire, click “Apply” and then “OK.” Your laptop screen should no longer dim. Test the screen brightness by running the laptop on battery power. Unplug the computer from the AC power and let it run for a few minutes on battery power to make certain that the power option settings are configured correctly for your needs.
