Screen brighter when NOT plugged in (what!?)
Ok, so I made an idiotic decision to see if I could update any drivers recently. A restore point was created, but my laptop decided it didn't like it, and so I can't restore previous settings and I can't properly rollback my graphics card driver. SO, I need some help.
Info:
Gfx driver: Intel HD Graphics 8.15.10.2993 (1/30/13)
Anyway, the problem is, using the FN+arrow keys, my brightness doesn't get bright enough while plugged in, but when on battery it has the full range of brightness all the way down to the dimmest setting. It's as if updating something (like the gfx driver) adjusted some setting. I looked into the brightness settings in the control panel, and everything looks fine. Before today, I hadn't touched the brightness settings in years.
So, I don't know what's up. I don't know why "off battery" I can't have a bright enough display.
(But at least I figured out I wasn't getting cataracts.... heh.)
Help if you can! Thanks!
