when i take my laptop of charge the screen suddenly goes dull. I think it is something to do with the settings i.e. battery saving mode or something. How do i change this?

Try pressing the Fn button, if you have one, while pressing the up arrow. Good luck...................

It is because of a power saving program. It depends on your manufacturer but there should be a program called something along the lines of "power management" (there may even be an icon for it on your toolbar). Just open that program and there should be instructions on how to change your settings.

Your laptop's battery is trying to preserve it's power.
You can change your power options in Control Panel.
Or there may be a little battery in the taskbar.

It will either be in the control panel --> power settings, or in the BIOS (you know when you switch the PC on you get something along the lines of press DEL or F2 for setup).

i replaced into searching for a similar answer whilst my new computer looked dim on a similar time as engaged on battery, yet great whilst engaged on power. whilst doing a seek I got here upon John's reaction who works at Dell's headquarter. He wrote "The liquid crystal show brightness is controllable in the equipment BIOS, accessible by potential of hitting F2 on the Dell splash show screen throughout the time of boot. as quickly as there, you need to discover brightness point variations in the video portion of the BIOS". once I replaced the settings it worked. thank you John.

There shall option in the laptop make your screen bright.
it shall have sun symbol with up arrow and down arrow in different keys. Normally it should be Home (to increase brightness) and End (to reduce brightness). This is to be used in conjuction with Function key (Fn).
Press Fn+Home to increase brightness
and Fn+End to decrease brightness.
