RE: B130 Screen goes dim

I have a B130 that is having screen problems.  Every once in awhile the screen goes dim and then back to normal when plugged in.  I originally thought it was the power supply but that wasn't it, the jack for the power supply isn't it either.  Any ideas?  Please help....

When you go from ac power to battery power the screen will go dimm,if you want a brighter screen on battery power hit the f-n and the up arrow key to adjust it.

I guess I needed to be more specific.  It does this when its plugged in not when running on battery.  One minute it's normal and the next it's dim then normal again. It may do this several times a day.  It's really weird because it just started doing it within the last few weeks.

That sounds more like a system that's shifting from AC to battery and back and forth due to a failing power jack.

It's not just yours. My b130 does that too.  Except it does it every time I plug it in.  Did you ever figure out the cause?
