This is confusing because its doing the reverse of what it should be. I want a brighter screen!

On mine I can make it brighter when in battery mode by pressing the FN key + the f2 key and holding it ..... the f2 key has a brite sun symbol.... it's a HP laptop..... there all the same. It's in your manual too.

You can run them on the battery or plug it in. If you purchase a new Laptop, it comes with a power adaptor which you plug into a wall receptacle (socket) and into the computer. Some Laptops may have the power adaptor built-in; these Laptops will just have a power cord. The Dell Laptop will come with Power Adaptor. I hope the battery life is more than 2 hours (Battery should be at least 2 to 3 yearsdepending on use and care). I believe you mean the productivity time when using the laptop on battery only - no external power source. Dell usually offers at least 2 types of batteries Example: the Dell Inspiron 1501 comes with a 6 cell battery and you can order it with a 9 cell battery - the 9 cell batery give up to 5.5 hours of productivity (this depends on haow often you access your Hard Drive, CD/DVD etc).

If you get a battery icon on the System Tray, right-click on it. Most laptops have power profiles which determine how your laptop should act under various power conditions. Check there first under AC settings.

Check your bios settings. In the bios there are brightness levels for battery and for AC. To get to it, when you power on hit either F1 or F2 or DEL depending on your type machine. There is usually something that says "press F2 to enter setup". Hope this helps

Turn off your laptop. Remove the battery. Reinsert the battery. Reboot.

It should happen the other way around.
