Area-51m R1, dim screen
Hey I have noticed my laptop is having a similar problem that other people have been experiencing but I have found no solutions. My laptop screen is completely dimming itself to 0%. The only way I have been able to temporally solve this issue is to turn the brightness setting to a lower level, close the laptop lid, and open it again. After this the screen will be brighter but if a turn the brightness to high it will again dim. Restarting it has had no effect and I have checked all my drivers and for malware. I am unsure what could be causing the issue and why my temporary solution works and would like to find a more permanent one

I have tried resiting the display cable and turning of tobi and neither of these solutions has worked and my computer still started dimed and will only become undimmed if I close then open it again and then will immediately dim itself again if I turn up the brightness

Hi Xaviertheman, I also started having this issue, opening and closing the screen is a temporary fix. My brightness caps out at 65% anything above that dims the display to 0%. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Does the power button blink in a certain sequence? If it does then this could help pinpoint the issue. See link below.
Have you tried connecting an external monitor to see if it will display on there?
You can also try a power drain by unplugging the power adapter and system battery and holding the power button down for 60 seconds. This can sometimes (rarely) reset the laptop to fix a simple issue.
It is also possible that you have a GPU, LCD or motherboard issue.

Do you have Tobii ?
My screen dims when I look away from it or leave it for a few mins and then brightens or restarts when I look directly at it.
It maybe something to do with the Tobii settings or a win 10 display power saving setting. Worth looking at before taking the laptop to pieces
