| 886639 | 2010-05-20 10:22:00 | Same thing happened to my daugther's EeePC recently. Faulty motherboard - replaced under warranty... Have you checked the Power Management software to see whether you have accidentally set the brightness low? |

| 886640 | 2010-05-20 10:25:00 | Have you tried manually adjusting the brightness? fn+f8 on my HP lappy. Otherwise you may have the dreaded HP power connector breakage.(they are poorly designed and the soldering can give way) www.howtofixcomputers.com |

| 886641 | 2010-05-20 10:29:00 | when it runs off the battery the brightness is set to the lowest setting. when it is plugged into the charger/mains it changes to full brightness. it was working fine when i was at university but at home no go :( the battery icon doesnt say it is charging/have the plug icon on it. i can change the power plan from custom(i've described above) to maximum and full brightness is on |

| 886643 | 2010-05-20 11:03:00 | My charger failed completely after eight months (a Toshiba). Toshiba replaced it under warrenty. My first phone call didn't get any action (although it was promised). I rang again (to Australia but on a NZ 0800 number) and the charger arrived in two days flat... :) | R.M. (561) | ||
