Laptop Brightness

[RoseRed]

Battery died a few months ago so I have been tethered to a plug until I received my new one the other day.

Now when I unplug from the cord and use just battery power, the screen brightness goes down lower. I tried adjusting the brightness, but it does nothing.

Ideas?

It's probably set to conserve energy when on battery power. Check your settings.

 

[SoMD_Fun_Guy]

It might be a feature on your laptop. To save power it reduces the brightness when running on battery. Check your settings. The brighter the screen the more juice it sucks up. Just a thought.

Hey Vrai - Jinx! Apparently, your reply was just a little quicker than mine.

Oh gawd... I hear the comments already....

Yes, please. I haven't forgotten, just been busy. Will you be home later?

Probably, but it might not be floppy by then.

I so didn't want you disappointed.

So...just how BIG is your floppy?

:kickingrocks: 3.5 inches.

Funny thing, my hard drive is only 2.5 inches.

Shrinkage.

Oh, yes we do.

Oh, the irony. I clicked to play the video and it said "an error occurred, please try later."

That's funny.


It's almost magical how a woman can make a floppy drive turn into a hard drive and with some more handiwork turn it back into a floppy drive.

The female IT rep at work really knows how to repair a computer. What were you thinkin?

Just as long as there's not a boot sector error or a premature hardware failure, it's all good.

I've been an IT pro for many years - I do know a thing or two about the subject.

Is that what it's called in the IT world?

You've been a pro for years? You don't happen to know Charlie Sheen do you?
Sorry couldn't help myself.

Hmmm, good to know. *making mental note*

Yes. We're polite like that.

That's what's said when a premature hardware failure occurs.

Knowledge is power.

And while you guys were having such a nice conversation, I gave Rose my floppy.

She gratefully accepted it.
