Basic question on LCD screen/AC adapter

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Hi everyone, I found this board after I purchases my i9300. My first lappy, very excited to have it, but this issue's been bugging me. Could be I'm just not that educated with LCD screens.

When running on battery alone, the screen is quite dark. I can set the screen brighter and that solves my issue. Now, when we go plug in the AC adapter, the screen becomes glaring white, and we have to reset the screen. It just doesn't feel like I should be doing this, especially knowing other users I know don't have this problem -- mainly, non-Dell notebook users. Am I missing something, or is this really an issue? Many thanks in advance for your responses.

In bios you can make the change.

What is it that I change? I haven't been able to use the search function on this effectively (all my search results come back blank), so I'd really really appreciate any more help you could offer!

When you go into the bios, there's an option for the default screen brightness when on AC power (default is 7, the brightest) and when on battery (default is 3). I dont' remember exactly where its at, but its toward the bottom of the bios options. You can change it there.

I hope you enjoy your first lappy, and please, just ask any questions you have. Also, you can use the function key + the up/down arrow keys for screen brightness.
