Laptop is a Lenovo 530 running windows 7

The screen is dim and i cannot change it. I can barely see the screen. I go to "power options" and nothing happens when i click it. I have rebooted the laptop and once i sign in the screen goes dim. I can boot to safe mode and everything is normal

Suggestions please

If you can get into safe mode perhaps you then can change the screen settings?

Hello nbaj

Is yours a Lenovo Ideapad 530, Lenovo Yoga 530, or a Lenovo Thinkpad 530? Either way, there should be a Fn key, or Hotkey, combination to adjust the screen brightness.

sfc /scannow = windows resource protection did not find any integrity violations
KB947821 = the service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it

Hi

Interesting,
please download tweaking.com from MajorGeeks.

In Windows repair select option 26 reset service defaults

by the sounds of it you seem to have changed some services default values
