If the power settings are set to "Power Saver", set it higher. That will deplete the battery faster, but might be brighter. Turning the Aero off might also help. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/nother-yes-another-laptop-issue#post-33833 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 20:04:08 +0000 Lighthouse 33833@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>So it's OK plugged in? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/nother-yes-another-laptop-issue#post-33829 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 19:56:15 +0000 treadkiler 33829@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>So, this is simple, i unplug my moms dell inspiron notebook and the screen is super dark even when i bring up the darkness.
