How do I adjust the brightness on my HP nc6220 laptop when on battery–the screen is so dim-fresh battery too

Ok I just checked out your laptop. Through HP.com\nTo make the screen brighter while on battery. Click the "Fn"(it is to the left side of the spacebar) button keep it pressed in and now keep tapping F10 button until it is to the brightness level that you want. To lower the brightness back press and hold Fn and keep tapping F9 button until you get the brightness you want.\n\nThe brighter you set your screen when on battery. The faster your battery will be needing another recharge.\nA battery should hold at least 1:30 minutes at least at maximum brightness setting.

Dim the screen. That's probably the biggest power  user.

right click on desktop > properties > screen saver > power...\n\nYou can change your standby settings from there.

The easiest way  is to enter BIOS. this is usually done by hitting the F1, F2, ESC or DEL key (some laptops even require a combination of keys such as CTRL F1) If you can't do this, for example you've messed up your settings so bad that it doesn't start anymore you will have to remove the battery(CMOS battery). If you choose to do so remember to not only unplug thue power cord but also remove the laptop's own power supply the battery(not the CMOS one). Once you've located the CMOS battery remove it and wait a while. Then plug everything back in and boot. \n\nPS if you don't have experience with hardware and laptop hardware in particular don't try opening it in your own

Hi,\nThis is Bobby, a Network Engineer by profession. If you are talking about the Desktop Screen then press CTRL and ALT keys together, let the keys be pressed use the arrow keys to adjust the orientation of desktop in any of the four corners as you desire.\n\nAlternatively, right click on Desktop, goto Properties, then click on Settings.It will show option to change Screen Resolution and Colour Properties. Adjust the Screen Resolution Slider to increase or decrease the screen resolution, click on OK. Later you can rollback to yours previous screen resolution, if you desire.\n\nGood Luck... :):)

Repost your question so it makes sense! Either you found your monitor brightness control or you didnt! You may also be able to adjust gamma and brightness in your desktop properties. Give details on what monitor you have and what PC you have!

Right Click Desktop > Properties > Settings Tab > Advanced Button\n\nAnother window will popup > there you will get different options for your screen setting.\n\nIf there is no advanced button your only choice is if your laptop has builtin feature for that; like Toshiba hot key F5 and F6 (after you install Toshiba software)

There could be some adjustment in your graphics card that could attribute to this.  I know a lot of modern laptops have brightness adjustments.  The other thing it could be which makes more sense is the backlight in your LCD has gone bad.  If that is the case you would still see stuff but it would be really dim.  It happens and if it's under warrenty try to get it replaced.  Sometimes though some companies don't have backlight warrenties but LCD warrenty.....

Try holding "FN" and keys from F6 to F8 - It will lighten or darken the screen, keys may be different pending on the notebook.

It is cheap LED, if it is giving no problem, ignore it. Else give it to HP support centre for correction if it is in warranty period.

You would need to check with multimeter the outlet of the inverter. For it you will need to remove the frame around the panel. I would say there are possible at least 4 reasons for dim display. Lamp, inverter, inverter cable, or something wrong on the m/b. Lamp itself is supposed to go for 20 000 hours, so I would say not more than 20 % of lamp fault possibility. I would start with inverter and inverter cable - they are more likely to be faulty and not that expensive as lamp or m/b.

You might have to send it back to HP.  Parts like laptop displays aren't as available as pc parts.

for Lap tops the biggest killer that's not a normally 'replaceable' part (batteries are replaceable....as are Hard drives, cd drives, floppy drives.....lol damn near everything lately !) is the LCD Backlight.  the Thin Film Transister LCD display back-light is the weakest part of a laptop....IMO.\n\n\nYou see LCD technology does not itself emit light. you either must have enough ambiant light to see, or it must be 'back-lit'.  The Technology formmerly used to do this was CCFL or Cold Cathode Forescent Lamp, these failed in 2 different ways as they aged.\n\n1. the light would get darker as it aged. Some would even change color therby messing-up the colors the display rendered.\n\nand\n\n2. As the bulb ages, it requires more and more power to engergize it.  Eventually it will reach a point where the amperage required to start the lamp, will exceed the capacity the circut it is on can provide and simply not light.\n\nIf you've ever seen this, or suspect that this is your problem (display won't light, or goes dark shortly after starting,) simply shine a bright light source directly into the display, you should see faintly whatever the desktop was diplaying at the time.....or your desktop if it never came on to begin with.\n\nCurrent Backlight technology uses white LED lights....far better.\nthe BEST ones use 3 LED lights....1 each of Red Blue and Green, much much better at displaying the full color spectrum.

If your gonna set it to hibernate, you adjust your power setting in the software by going to control panel.\nNot in the bios....

I have fixed the problem before changing the lithium battery.  That would be the next guess since you tried to adjust the contrast.\n\nThe next step may be checking with the manufacturer

It is possible to replace the backlight on a desktop LCD monitor however I don't know about laptop displays, chances are, you can't fix that yourself.  Anyway, a step by step guide to repairing a LCD display is in the link below, if handling sensitive electronic equipment make you squeamish then I don't suggest you try it but you can take a look at it anyway.\n\nChances are this won't work on a laptop display and they don't make replacement parts for laptop displays, if you sent it in for repair all they would do is replace the display.  Replacing the display on a laptop will cost you upwards of $600, this happened to mine when the warranty ran out and I just bought a new laptop.\n\nI did find a site that sells laptop displays but I don't know anything about them.  But the displays for Toshiba Satellites run upwards of $375 and you have to know the exact model.  I don't know what you consider to be a large cost but if you're going to spend $375, you may as well buy a new laptop for $600, http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Acer-Aspire-Notebook-PC-AS3009WLCi-/sem/rpsm/oid/139311/catOid/-12963/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do or $650, http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Gateway-Notebook-PC-MX6027-/sem/rpsm/oid/133615/catOid/-12963/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do\n\nIt doesn't look like there will be a cheap fix for your situation.
