The brightness on my computer is turned down. What's going on?

Question

I'm really having to squint and struggle just to ask this. Today I woke up my computer and when it "woke up" the screen suddenly went from the normal brightness to as if someone took the brightness and turned it ALLLL the way down to where I hve to shine lights and squint to see whats on the screen. I'm really blindly typing right now and hoping I get this right. Now my computer is normally on 24/7 so I'm wondering if it's just over ehated? A thing also comes up right when I turn it on saying their are errors. Now if I put it in sleep then wake it up the screen will be bright for a few seconds and then go back to no brightness. I've called tech support but they have no trouble shooting center. I have to pay $40 to send it over to geek squad I don't have $40 so I'm out there. Could my computer just be overheated or could it be something else??? I'm trying to figure this out fast because I have homework to do and my college is online with no other computer to use (my library card is no good cause I owe them money) What could be going on? My computer also has to thing on it to change the brightness.

Answer 1

i'm not aware of any PC without brightness control of some sort, informing us of what PC you have would have greatly simplified diagnosis..

1) update video driver

2) self diagnose video card/GPU

3) replace Inverter board for screen

4) find a sugar daddy

I'm not really sure if this will be helpful to you, cause you state that your computer has no way of changing the brightness setting? If it's a windows 7 you should be able to left click the battery icon and adjust the brightness.



If the problem, however, is that the adjust brightness slider is no longer present within the options screen, you can try the following:



Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Device Manager



Once the Device Manger box opens expand the "Monitors" tab



Left Click and Uninstall the monitor listed



Then select the Scan for Hardware Changes Icon



Sounds bizarre, but the adjust screen brightness slider should reappear within the adjust screen brightness option screen.

Is it a desktop or laptop?





Try turning it off for a few hours, and put it on a fan*,



If that doesn't work,



Check if all the wires are put in good,





*You can't put it on a fan if it's not a laptop.
