Ideapad S510p Screen Brightness Fluctuates

Hi
2 weeks before I brought a Lenovo Ideapad S510p.
I installed Windows 8.1 and all available latest drivers from lenovo website.
But a peculiar problem I am facing is the screen brightness doesn't stick constant. Sometimes it dims. When I again change the brightnesss settings in power option, it again restores. But still its not consistent. It fluctuales little bit.
Please help.
Regards

I think you are correct that it is the factory default to be set for Auto Brightness. There have been quite a number of threads discussing issues with Auto Brightness over the past few months. There seems to be a pretty wide range of how this feature operates from one iPad to the next, from what I remember reading in those threads.
I'm not so sure that you have a problem with your iPad but like you said it's more of a nuisance than anything else. I am using the original iPad so maybe the Smart Cover does have some effect. I wish I had more to offer but maybe someone else with the same experience will respond with a suitable fix for this.

LED SCREEN Brightness fluctuates

As I sit in front of my brand new 2.24Mhz MBP I keep noticing the brightness fluctuates. To the point I keep noticing it! It's almost down right annoying! So far for 4 hours. Full battery and Plugged in. Anyone else or any ideas? Call to Apple is next. TIA

Same problem here. It's been happening since day one. (Today is day 3!)
Since the screen dims and brightens when my hands are in certain spots on the keyboard, my guess is it's a result of the "ambient lighting" feature. Great feature, but Apple might have placed the ambient light sensor in a bad spot and/or made it too sensitive.

Screen brightness fluctuates despite adaptive setting being disabled

Hey everybody.
I'm on a 2012 13" MacBook Pro running Windows 8. I've been noticing my screen brightness changing randomly in the middle of all sorts of tasks. It's always a very sudden jump to a brighter setting--never dimmer. Everything's turned up all the way and I've followed the internet's instructions to disable all the adaptive settings that change the brightness. Still happening, so I'm suddenly concerned it might be a hardware issue. Any insights?
Thanks!

That's good news.
The new account is using information from a brand new Preferences file which is unaffected by whatever made yours misbehave.
Do this: Go to the Finder and select Go to folder like so:
then type library like so:
oops, posting too fast... stand by while I edit this...
As I was saying...
Click Go, then find the folder called Preferences and open it. Then find the files called
com.apple.universalaccess.plist, and
com.apple.systemsound.plist
and drag them both to the Trash.
Log out.
Log in again and open System Preferences > Universal Access. Configure all four tabs the way you want, then close System Preferences.
Does that fix things?

Ideapad s405 screen brightness issue on win8

I read about issues after downgrading to windows7, i have the same issue with light control on windows 8, what is the solution to that problem?

hi attilakk,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
The Issue is "Only high and low option for Brightness" This only show under WIndows 7 and can be fix by reverting to Windows 8.
You said you have WIndows 8, can you share if the same is happening or what exactly is happening in your system.
Thanks

Nokia Lumia 1520 - Screen Brightness Problem

I have two Nokia Lumia 1520.
Both of them have the same problem. I will explain the problem to you in detail and before that let me assure you I am a Windows Phone long time user , have been part of the development , developed several apps for the platform and I have used Lumia 800 , 720 , 920 , 925 and now 1520. So I am well aware of all the settings , sunlight readability , automatic brightness etc. This problem is not due to any of these , I can assure you
Now the problem ,
I set the automatic brightness option OFF
I move the brightness to HIGH
Then I lock the phone
When I unlock the phone , the brightness drops by 10% suddenly without any intervention
This problem happens sometime. Some days I see this problem , some days I don't and there are few days where I see this problem very heavily.
I purchased another 1520 and it has the same problem. I am very sure , from my experience that this is a firm ware issue. This is NOT a hardware problem , but a serious problem from your software end. It is prudent that Nokia recognizes this problem and finds a solution to this. Interestingly , I am not the only one who is facing this problem , the whole globe is facing the same problem and for such a pricey phone , this is a frustrating experience - very frustrating. I am sending some links , which will show the problems users are facing:

The phone is rock solid and amazing except this irritating problem.
I have only few days within which I can request a exchange from the merchant. So if any Nokia official can confirm that a software fix is on the way , it would be super helpful
Nokia , please help !
Moderator's note: We have removed the IMEI numbers. Posting of personal information is not allowed in this forum for security purposes.

I have Nokia Lumia 1520 Black.
I have also been facing the same problem with screen brightness.
The problem occurs only when the Brightness is in Automatic mode.
--> When the Brightness is set to Automatic mode & take out from dark location to bright location the display turns out to weird grey color.
--> And then if the brightness is set to low, medium or high display comes to normal.
Is this issue related to the hardware or software.
If it is related to the Software will you be able to fix it ? or else How about the replacing with the new one ?
Awaiting for the response.

Fluctuating screen brightness on MBP?

I got my MBP (i7, 15.6", Lion) in June and love it. Over the last month, however, I've noticed the screen frequently fluctuating in brightness, from "normal" to super bright over a 2-3 second period, then back to normal again. It doesn't get really dark except,of course, when it is about ready to go to sleep. The graphics remain clear and sharp. The computer is not being taxed with a heavy application load (only have a browser open).
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Dave

Never mind! It resolved itself. I think.
It took three reboots, then the brightness was back to normal again.
I don't know if this had anything to do with it, but at my third reboot, at the gray loading screen (where the brightness still worked), I hit the F2 (brightness up) key like crazy for about 1 minute. They OS X loaded as normal, with the usual screen brightness.

Touch Screen intermittently working (IdeaPad S510p touch)

I have the IdeaPad S510p touch, which seems to have a similar problem as other Lenovo models where the touch screen seems to stop working intermittently. It seems to stop working after a while or after it has been sleeping. It starts working again randomly. I tried downloading a driver for a different model, but it didn't load or allow me to open it. I just got this computer a few days ago. I'm not sure if it is better just to take it back to the store, but I am concerned that this problem will exist even if I exchange it for a new one...

Hi john,
Sorry, I wish I had a better answer for you... we ended up just taking the computer back to the store and trading it in for a new one. We found when our touch screen stopped working, it seemed to be right after it slept... as opposed to starting it up after a complete power off. However, it was not consistent. We ended up trading in this model twice - now on our third one and it is not perfect (because the mouse clicks and moves when you are typing on the keyboard), but it generally functions so we kept it. When I first had this issue, the other problem was that we bought it from OfficeDepot and this model didn't seem to be available anywhere else and so there was very little information out there on how to fix problems.
Again, sorry. wish i could be more helpful with an actual solution...
thanks, J

Ideapad S415 Touch: Screen Brightness Stuck!!

Two days ago, my laptop suddenly got stuck on the lowest brightness setting. I did some research and found that I was supposed to update the driver, so I did and now the brightness is stuck on the HIGHEST brightness setting!

Macbook Pro Brightness Fluctuating

I am experiencing an odd display issue with my Macbook Pro 13" mid-2010 model. The display, at random intervals, fluctuates from full brightness to quite dim... and sometimes to off and then back on a few seconds later.
It is not the ambient light sensor, as that is turned off. This happens, too, when the computer is plugged into AC power. I have noticed that the brightness controls do not work, but I don't know if that is related or not.
It appears to be software related, because the display often returns to normal after moving the mouse cursor. I have set all "power saving" options to off and this issue remains.
Any ideas?

Unless you have a lot of bus-powered peripheral devices plugged in and run extremely processor-intensive software, it's very unlikely that your 60W AC adapter was inadequately powering your computer and causing the screen brightness to fluctuate. Absent an extremely high power demand, the likelihood is good that your 60W adapter was faulty or damaged, and another 60W adapter in good condition might have eliminated the problem just as effectively. But I'm glad to hear you're back to normal now in any event.

Help! Screen brightness won't adjust =(

Screen Brightness on iphone 4s

My iphone 4s has had a problem after i upgraded to ios 6 , the screen can be at one moment fully readable with the adjustment on brightness set to the middle ,,and then its light is off , checking the brightness its reset itself to no brightness , this happens with the auto switched on or off , i have hard reset the iphone , used itunes to do a restore and have set it up as a new iphone but the problem will not go away. Even on the charger i have the brightness set to mid way and when i take the phone off the charger the brightness bar moves to no brightness , i have one time had the screen on the brightness settings and watched the brightness bar lower to no brightness , this is with the auto brightness option switched off , this also happens with the auto brightness switched on as well.
All these problems happened after upgrading to ios 6 , the one thing i did notice after the first upgrade was the screen itself had a higher brightness than before , now the phone mostly sits at home as i cannot use the iphone as the screen brightness changes so much its become a pain to use , so i have to use my wifes samsung galaxy s3 , any ideas on how to sort this problem out or is it a trip to the apple store to get a new iphone 4s ?

I've upgraded to iOS 7 and I have the issue on an iPhone 4S. I can't remember this happening on iOS 6, but there may have been one or two occassions where it did. So, with regards to Julia98765's post above, in my case it just got a whole lot worse with iOS 7, much as I love everything else about it!
The screen starts off on my normal brightness level (auto is off), and then anywhere between a few minutes to just a few seconds, the screen goes totally dark, like it has been slid to the minimal brightness setting. From then on, the screen fluctuates wildy, sometimes snapping back to full normal brightness, but mostly just dim flickering until it decides to settle down in its dim state, or if it has been locked for a few minutes by which time it is showing normal brightness levels again.
Then the whole thing repeats itself. This happens in one form or another pretty much every time I use my phone! The only thing I haven't tried yet is restoring the phone through iTunes so will give that a go and report back soon.

X200 screen brightness

I have just upgraded to Widows 7 and after the computer comes of out of sleep the screen brightness is a the lowest level but the value show it at the highest level (it is plugged in). I move the brightness up and down and it shows it happening on the green bars but no change. My setting, plugged in or not is always at the brightest level.
When I re-boot all is good, any thoughts out there?
Thank you

Hi and welcome to the forum!
How exactly are you adjusting the brightness? And does "sometimes" include waking up from sleep or hibernation, specifically? Detailed description is always good.
You can run ThinkVantage System Update to verify all drivers are current; especially Hotkey features, Video driver, Power Manager and Management drivers.
Keep us informed.

MacBook Pro 13" screen brightness

I just bought a 13" MacBook Pro and find the screen brightness and contrast is much less than expected. It basically has to be turned up full on AC to be acceptable, which is very unexpected, since I am typing on a 16 month old MacBook Air now that is about the same at 80% of screen brightness. The contrast is less pronounced on the new machine, too, and the notion of 60% more color saturation seems faulty. I am going to return it and see if the Apple Store thinks this is normal or a faulty screen. Am I being unreasonable to think the new MBP screen should be at least equivalent to the original Air screen?
Message was edited by: MacBook

Yes, I agree that there is something different about the two displays. I conducted my own side-by-side comparison -- in the same room lighting, and also switching the places of the two machines -- and found at any given setting, the 13" MacBook Pro was darker than the MacBook Air. Furthermore, when I first started the machine, the MBP's keyboard backlighting would not go off, no matter the lighting. Then, when I went to make these comparisons, the MBP's keyboard backlighting would not come on.
This linked picture is a composite from two pictures taken in succession in the same lighting and angles, just as they came out of the camera, showing the relative brightness of the two. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2547/3844348963e76728bce2o.png
So, I packed up the machine for a trip to the Apple Store and either an exchange or a return.
