| 792893 | 2009-08-03 03:56:00 | Gee guys, its to do with battery life.....if you noticed when on battery, the LCD dulls so not much power draw, however it is controlled by ambient light to control how bright it is..... However Greg, remember the your problem is NOT cured, they have simply turned the broken, failing sensor off! True - But most notebooks I've used will darken the screen when they are running on battery anyway, they just sense if there is AC power going in or not. Don't really need another sensor to darken/lighten it more I would have thought, it's normally pretty easy to change the brightness of the screen. :2cents: |

I haven't used this notebook on battery power since the first day I bought it. |
