Dim Display key takes 2 taps

I have just started noticing a strange behavior in my MBP (early 2009, just before built-in batteries on 15 inch).
The Dim Display key now takes 2 taps to work. For instance, tapping it once brings up the Brightness meter, but does not change the brightness. A second quick tap dims the screen 1 level. A third tap does nothing (assuming the brightness meter is already up), a fourth tap dims the display another level.
Thoughts?

Just happens when the room is very dark, apparently a feature for some reason.

  • When recording a Video demo slide in Captivate 8, pressing the [END] key takes more than a minute to stop the recording. Why is there such a lag?

    When recording a Video demo slide in Captivate 8, pressing the [END] key takes more than a minute to stop the recording. Why is there such a lag? Additionally, the software I record experiences terrible lag times. For instance, It may take 15 seconds to display a 2-digit number I typed into a blank field. the same software has no lag issues when I'm not recording it.

    Yes and no. The CPTX file is on my PC. Our software that I'm making the demo of is on the network. but I'm not the "IT Guy" so I can't provide specifics; however, I work at a computer software company and we probably have more servers than employees. The network hardware is kept current. I've been making similar tutorials for 10 years and haven't run into this issue until switching to the subscription Captivate.

  • Dim display - CQ40

    Hi everyone.
    First, I want to express my disappointment. Argentina (I am not from USA) IS NOT in the list of available countries in the registration process. That's really bad and insulting. The whole planet is there, except we don't.
    Having said that, I have a CQ 40 that starts with the classic dim display problem. Only when starts,  a few seconds looks ok, the dim. The same thing, when close de lid, and open again.
    So replaced the inverter with a new one after try with 2 displays (the one from the notebook and another one, using the inverter with the signal from the notebook) same thing.
    So started to see the magnetic lid switch. When pass over a magnet near, the screen come back. After doing that several times the image stay and the display work flawless until shut down the computer. Also, with the rule of "sleeps when lid close" could probe that isn't the lid switch that causes the problem, because when the display goes dim, it ins't go to sleep mode. But when make work the switch with de magnet, goes to sleep like it should do.
    The last thing is a backlight issue, a bad lamp or bad wires that works when goes ON several times maybe?
    Thak you in advance for the replies.

    Please try the troubleshooting steps shown below to resolve the issue:
    1. Please Press Fn + F7  or  Fn + F10 Keys on the Notebook Keyboard to increase the Brightness
    2. Disable ambient light sensor in BIOS if its available
    3. Update the latest BIOS, Chipset and Video Drivers
    4. If the display works fine on External Desktop Monitor, Reseat Display Connector to Motherboard
    [If you are comfortable]
    5. Replace the Display Panel
    Note: If external monitor has dim display we need to re-install the operating system and if that doesn't resolve the issue we need to replace system board & Display Panel
    Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again

  • Display key and text by WAD command in custom structure hierarchy

    Hi everybody,
    I have a query using a custom structure with hierarchy layout. As usual the structure does only display its text as descriptions but I can enable the display the key in BEx Web by right-click on the analysis item --> Properties --> Characteristic --> Display. Unfortunately these setting can not be defined directly in the structure within the Query Designer.
    For a workaround I put the query into a web template, in which I used the Set Presentation (SET_PRESENTATION) command to enable key and text display from the start. Hence I put that command in the wem template parameters Action Before First Rendering (ACTION_BEFORE_FIRST_RENDERING). Everything is working properly and makes me very happy.
    But... there is one thing missing, I would like to implement... I want a toggle button, which allows the user to switch between key and text display and text display. Unfortunately setting the same command from Action Before First Rendering (ACTION_BEFORE_FIRST_RENDERING on a various button does not working. The button command only affects data rows of the leaves of the structure hierarchy. All parent nodes do not change their appearance.
    Any ideas how to solve this?
    Thank you for any helps and comments!
    Sebastian

    Hi Sebastian,
    I have a similar problem. Can you help me? How did you set the entry in Member Presentation of Command SET_PRESENTATION to display key and text? I just found the values to set the only text or only key.
    best regards,
    Barbara

  • Display key and text in variable selection screen.

    Hi:
    I have a variable in the Var.selection screen. and I cannot have the text displaying. Only the key is coming.
    - I have checked "Provider-Specific Properties" in RSA1 and is ok. and display attributes in Query Designer as well.
    Infio: The Characteristic is used in the same query as a Free Char. and there is displaying Key+Text correctly...
    any idea in what else to check.?
    Regards.

    Hi,
    Do you mean that the value help of that variable is not showing the Text values in the selection screen.It shows only the values in "Key"
    If this is the case,then invoke the value help of that variable->Click "Settings"->"General Display" tab->Select "Default(Text)" and click OK.The values will be listed in "Text" rather than "Key"

  • Problem with displaying key figures in report

    Does anyone have experience with SAP Report Designer for Release 7.0. I want to display key figures in the following manner: 1'500 (Which means 1.500.000) For a billion the value displaye should be 1''000 (1.000.000.000).
    1000 =     1.000
    0'010 =     10.000
    0'100 =     100.000
    1'000 =     1.000.000
    0''010 =     10.000.000
    0''100 =     100.000.000
    1''000 =     1.000.000.000
    Thus the report always shows 4 digit figures. The problem is that I don't know how to include the apostophe as a separator for the million.
    Additionaly to that I want to have the font changed to a smaller number, if the figure is to large for the column. Is there a possibity to change the display of the figure with the scaling? And is there a possibility to change the font? These two parameters have to be decided when running the report. (The scale of the numbers can differ within one column.)

    there is two way to display the values , one is globally, where u do it the keyfigure and another way is on the query designer level
    in keyfigure go to aggregation , there u will get the number display format , u can change there and another way is in the query designer right click on the key figure and select properties and select display format

  • S405 dim display

    Hi folks.  Bought laptop new with windows 8 for use in a school district
    I don't have the resources to support 8 right now, so I went to load windows 7.
    Windows 8 display was bright
    The setup when loading windows 7 was bright as well.  All going ok.
    But, after loading the AMD chipset drivers that are all bundled together, the display is half a bright as it was.  
    All settings I can find for brightness are maxed:  In the power settings, the OSD keyboard setting (F12), the AMD display interface....
    Too bad too, as there are many reviews of this latop that indicate a dim display and I'm sure that folks are getting turned away by that.  After running a fresh install I know that the display and hardware are fine.  It's the driver that's broken.  PLEASE can Lenovo or AMD get a fix for this?  It's almost unusable it's so dim.
    John
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I had to reload Windows 8 from a flash drive since I couldn't get any Windows 7 displays drivers to function correctly. For Windows 8, the drivers on the website were in a self-extracting executable that didn't work properly (I don't know if they've fixed them now), and then for a while they took them down (I don't know if they're back up). At the time when I reimaged the system, I had to download the Windows 8 drivers from the Chinese site, and they worked correctly for Windows 8. This particular laptop was a gift, so I don't have it anymore. Just happy I could get it working again with Windows 8.
    After I was having so much trouble with Windows 7, I called Lenovo support to alert them of their drivers not functioning. I was hung up on. I'm not happy with Lenovo support, and if I didn't do I.T. for a living, I wouldn't have been able to figure out how to get working Windows 8 drivers.

  • Display key in the selection screen and Key & Text in the report

    Hi,
    For the infoobject in the query,
    In the variable selection screen When i want to select any value it should display only key, and in the report i want to display key and text of that infoobject.
    Is it possible?
    Thanks
    Rani

    Hi
    Display As
    Here you determine whether and in what format the individual characteristic values of the characteristic are presented:
    ·        (Standard): The standard display type for characteristic values corresponds to the setting in InfoObject maintenance under Tab Page: Business Explorer.
    ·        No Display: The characteristic display is hidden. This function is useful, for example, with the currency/unit characteristic as the currencies are also shown in the key figures.
    ·        Key and Text: The characteristic values are displayed by their technical key and text.
    ·        Text: The characteristic values are displayed by their text.
    ·        Key: The characteristic values are displayed by their technical key.
    ·        Text and Key: The characteristic values are displayed by their text and technical key.
    In the dropdown box below, you can select the type of text you want to use if you set a display type that contains text. The following options are available:
    ·        Standard: The shortest available text for the characteristic values is used as the text.
    ·        Short text: The short text for the characteristic values is used as the text.
    ·        Long text: The long text for the characteristic values is used as the text.
    ·        Medium text: The medium text for the characteristic values is used as the text.

  • Heat, Fan, and dimming display questions

    I have a hot running MacBook Pro. I've had the unit returned for service and only one of my four issues was resolved. The unit is going back again for service.
    I seemed to irritate the last tech support person by asking questions about the heat issues. Maybe some people here can help answer the question that changed his tone for the worse during the remainder of the support call.
    Can you easily hear the fan(s) when they operate or do you have to put your ear real close to the laptop to hear the fan(s) operate?
    I asked because I couldn't tell you what a fan sounds like on this machine. I'm on my second motherboard and I cannot feel any air flow from all those vents (or anywhere else for that matter) along the back of the laptop near the display hinge.
    Has anyone found a correlation between a dimming display and heat? What happens is the display dims the equivelent of bringing down the brightness down three levels and after a few seconds it brightens back up.
    The laptop is going in for a second repair for the following reason:
    "Problem Description: Customer sensory issues - Temperature perception: CPU/Unit"
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Hello I just wanted to give you some insight on the screen dimming. If you have not unchecked the box at the bottom of the display pane is system prefs the display will dim when ever it scences a lower light situation. I have attached a picture. HERE

  • Subject: Displaying key figures without currency unit in BEX reports

    Hello,
    Is it possible to display key figures without currency unit in BEx reports? For example; Material Costs 1000 EUR
    should be shown as 1000. Currency unit EUR and also scaling factor (*1000 EUR) does not interest us.
    When we use display options in query properties, we just see an option of displaying key figures with/without scaling factors, which does not solve our problem.
    Thanks for your reply.
    Regards,
    Nuran Adal

    Hi Eugene,
    thank you very much for your quick reply. We have very detailed reports with min. 10 columns, I should have defined 10 more formula columns to realize this (NODIM), but anyway there is no other way to do this, am I right?
    Best Regards,

  • Ipod w/ dim display

    My iPod 3rd gen. has a very dim display. Adjust the dimmer setting has no effect.

    Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPOd
    If you still have the the problem then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • T61 dim display

    Dim display, external video ok, lcd comes on when lid is shut & opened then goes dim. I have seen this problem on older laptops with a stuck lid closure switch ... can't  find one on this laptop though ... HELP!??

    I recently started having the same problem on my three-year old T61. The screen is legible, but definitely dimmer than it used to be. I'm happy to replace something, if I know what the problem is. Sounds like you have already done all the things I would have done. Did you also replace the backlight?
