No TrackPoint Scroll and Brightness Control After Resume

Hello All,
I'm having an issue with my new x120e where after a couple suspend/resume cycles both the Trackpoint scroll function and the ability to adjust screen brightness no longer work. Using the Trackpoint only yields results as a pointing device, and trying to use the brightness controls does nothing--no on-screen brightness level display. I've searched the forums but couldn't find these exact issues, and I'm using the latest versions of the UltraNav driver and Utility.
Thanks!

hey cbolos,
check via http://support.lenovo.com and see that your Power Management software is at its latest version. If not, download and install.
if it is the latest, uninstall all UltraNav drivers+Utilities and the Power Management.
let window install its generic drivers. Test and see if it happens again

Volume and Brightness controls

So I was installing Lenovo Drivers on my laptop after I nuked the hard drive and to repartition. However, somehow, I have TWO volume and brightness controls. Any ideas anyone?

Hi ychen428,
I saw your other post over here . Is your audio working properly now with the exception of having two volume controls?
Seeing as how the hotkeys are incorporated into Energy Management, could it be that there are two versions of Energy Management installed? The on screen displays look like an older version and a new version.

Windows 8.1 update and brightness control

I have a DELL XPS L521X with Windows 8.1 (I had windows 8 some days ago) and I have had two problems:
1) I did not allow Windows to upgrade to 8.1 and it forced me to do it. It gave me 15 minutes to save progress and do it. I was watching the NBA finals on my computer and it was the only thing I had to watch the game. The installation lasted the whole second
half the game and I WAS NOT ABLE TO WATCH IT DUE TO THIS, YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW I AM FEELING ABOUT NOT USING WINDOWS EVER AGAIN... How can I prevent it from ever upgrading anything without my consent? I had already turned off updates from Control Panel\System
and Security\Windows Update but it didn't help.
2) My brightness control became broken after the 8.1 update. I had to manually pick the older Intel HD 4000 driver to have it working again or else my eyes would stop functioning after such a bright display. I had to switch to the 9.17 driver version from
September 2012. Where can I get the lastest WORKING version of the driver?
Please stop making me loose days fixing Windows issues...

Hi,
We have set the GP to disable Windows 8.1 update in Windows store, you can check it here:
How to Disable “Update to Windows 8.1 for Free” Notification in Windows 8 Store?
http://www.askvg.com/how-to-disable-update-to-windows-8-1-for-free-notification-in-windows-8-store/
For your second issue, it's not only related to Windows, but also the driver provider. Microsoft is working together with the device manufacturers and partners to deliver update package and try the best to solve the compatible issue and bring a great improvement
on user experience. But you know, it will take some time.
Thanks for your understanding.

Failure of Shades, DarkAdapted and Brightness Control

My iMac display is too bright even at it's lowest setting.
A new profile in Display Preferences can't deal with this and the contrast control in Universal Access also doesn't help.
I've tried 3rd party software. Brightness Control continually loses it's setting when the screensaver starts. Shades doesn't work for me because it leaves the pointer undimmed and that small too bright area is right where I need to look. And DarkAdapted is limited by the same screensaver problem as Brightness Control.
I sure wish Apple displays could dim adequately as in the past.
Any suggestions appreciated.

I have DarkAdapted Pro, with registered version, it load your profile at mac os login, and darkadapted its a real bright control, not like brightcontrol (deform colours)...
One question, do you have bright gradient left to right on your mac 24 alu?.. more bright at left side of your monitor, to view this, move one window at the left, and then move it at the right, if you see one variation of white values then the gradient is there!... ok it is my problem and a lot of people are at the same situation like me... not sure if it is a general problem...
Ok see you bye!

Keyboard: audio and Brightness control keys not working with or without fn

The Keys for controling Audio and Brightness (F1-F5) do not work.
Also combined with pressing the "fn" key the keys do not work.
So i only control audio with the remote control or the slider in the menubar.
Making a reboot with deleting pram didn't help.
I'm running the up to date version of leopard on a macbook pro (core2duo).
I also searched in the forum for this problem.
I oten read about "sytem control"-"keyboard and mouse"-"keyboard" and the F1, F2, etc. to use as...
but switching this button on or off doesn't change anything.

problem solved:
the couse was the software update 1.1 for macbook pro, because there i had the problem like in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6142512&#6142512
and did the solution like that, but there i maybe made some mistakes with renaming and copying, so i rinstalled the update and renamed it a copied to plugins, and now all works as it should.
thanks for help

HP Envy 17 no brightness control after Win10 upgrade

Well, did the upgrade to Win10 from Win7 this weekend and all went well except for a jerky mouse and no longer can I adjust the brightness. The screen is so bright I have to wear sunscreen! And, since this is the primary computer i use to edit my photos, I am struggling mightly! Anyone have any ideas? I saw a bunch of stuff about Win8, I tried to roll back the driver, but it just put a very recent one back on, 7/15/15. The graphics card is a Radeon HD 6700m. Help! David

Start -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Manage Audio Devices From here you'll see a few pictures with labels like HDMI output, Speakers, Headphones One of these represents your systems speakers (most likely just labeled as speakers) right click that icon and click "set as default device"
Just FYI if you don't get sound on your TV after doing this you will need to open up the sound options again and select the HDMI output as the default device.

Problems with scrolling and Mission Control

I have this problem:
When scrolling down any page, the letters will blur at the top of the screen and not the bottom.
When swiping acrross pages in the launchpad, it occasionaly freezes half way between the two.
When I swipe up with four fingers to access mission control, the screen becomes very sluggish. Swiping back down (or clicking a tab) is even worse, causing slow "laggy" animations.

4K Rendering, DPX Files, and Brightness Control

First off- when will Premiere Pro CC allow for 4K rendering? This is a new standard and currently the program won't support exporting to 4K compressed files. The reason I want this is because I use 4K and want to keep it in its native format, and also because I want to save it to a 4K Blu Ray when 4K Blu Rays will be announced late this year.
Also when will Premiere Pro allow for odd frame rates when importing DPX files? Currently it only adds a few options for frame rates, so I have to use After Effects to set my frame rate to 18fps, and then load that into Premiere Pro. It seems stupid to have to use one program to set for one thing, and then use Premiere Pro to do the work needed.
Also I have some files that need brightness correction. Without using Auto settings, how can I manually adjust the brightness of the video to where I want it set? I don't see any option in Premiere to correct for brightness, without using an auto setting. I tried auto contrast and some of my video was still too dark. And I really don't want to have to use another program just to correct for this, as this should be an option in Premiere for the price you pay to use the program.

OK, let's address the current issues first.
There are a few different frame sizes that lay claim to the "4K" name. 4K resolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
What is the exact frame size you want to export?
The most commonly used export format nowadays seems to be H.264. When 4K Blu-Ray To export to H.264 I use the following settings, although actually not quite 4K - it was the size I was asked for with this project example. It was a talking head so I was able to get away with a reasonable bitrate. You can change it around to suite your needs.
The next topic seems to be the Brightness and Contrast effect. I found it on the Effects tab in the Video Effects/Color Correction section.
As for importing your image sequence, feel free to import it at 24fps, then interpret it the way you want it. I suggest that you import at 24, then create the sequence from the imported clip.
Then right click on the video clip in the Project Panel and interpret it to 18fps. Then drop the 18fps on to the 24fps sequence. It will play at 24fps by duplicating some of the frames. There is no way to really get around that other than play it back at 18fps. Not a great option.
Now, I highly suggest that if you are going to use Premiere Pro, that you take some lessons. The best are from Lynda.com but there are free ones for CS6 that still apply to CC at CreativeCOW
There are many ways in Premiere Pro to achieve the same goals and there is so much to learn. You might want to start with How to create a video story with Premiere Pro | Adobe Premiere Pro CC tutorials
Good luck, and let us know if you have any more questions.

IDEACENTRE A720 serious problem with noisy hdmi in and brightness control

First of all, excuse my English. (And after initial posting i recognized that i have selected the false category for this post, should be in "ideacentre"....)
A few days before i buyed a used VBT1YGE from Amazon Warehouse Deals. It was important to me to use the A720 as a external monitor for my Lenovo Notebook and my MacBook.
As soon as i connected the Notebook or MacBook with a HDMI-Cable (tried four different cables!) plugged in to HDMI in, there was an annoying noise.
Furthermore, if i adjust the brightness with plugged in HDMI-Cable, there was a new loud noise, it becomes louder by decreasing brightness. Sound works fine from the Lenovo Notebook through HDMI but there is always a noise and if i decrease brightness this results in louder noise.
If i use the VBT1YGE only as AIO PC, everything works fine, no noises.
As i said the VBT1YGE was used, so i thought it has a defect and i sent it back to Amazon.
Now i have buyed a new VDT2DGE from Lenovo Shop and i have exactly the same problems.
Please, is there any solution for this problem? If not, i will sent the VDT2DGE back in a few days...

I am running Windows 8, which came with the system. I decided to "Remove everything and reinstall Windows" and this is the specs that I see now. Windows 8, Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz 2.50 GHz, 6.00 GB RAM, 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor.
By chance I found out that if I force my screen to sit up right, by pushing the backbone of the screen backwards, the noise becomes smaller. I also now changed my refresh rate to 50Hz to make the noise a little bit lower in tone. I was hoping that this is fixable with an update with graphics card or with a lenovo diagnostic software, but I could not find anything online similar to it. The problem still exists, although now it is more acceptable. Still hope that it can be solved.
Thank you very much for replying!

Qosmio F55 - Replaced LCD and brightness controls are backwards reversed

Hi,
the LCD for my Qosmio F55-Q502 cracked and I ordered the same part and when I installed it, everything works nice and all but the brightness up and down are reversed. Like Fn+F6 makes it brighter while Fn+F7 makes it darker? The original that came with it was a lp154wp1 (tl) (e1) but one I got is a lp154wp1 (tl) d1).
Does anyone think that bit of a variation of the model can make it reverse the controls? Even on Windows when you slider the brighness to the right it will dim and to the left it brightens. Also for anyone else that needs info on their Qosmio F55, the original is a lp154wp1 (tl) (e1) and its also known as lp154wp1 (tl) (a3) that is written on the lcd board.The replacement lp154wp1 (tl) (d1) is also known as a lp154wp1 (tl) (a2) also written on the lcd board
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated!

Hi hulkster,
Where you have ordered the new display and is it an original Toshiba spare part?
If yes I would contact an authorized service provider or the shop where you purchased it. In my opinion the screen is not 100% compatible to your model. This would also explain the different part numbers that you posted

Windows 7 "Dim the display" and brightness controls missing

Is this another driver problem? I would think the Nvidia drivers would support this new feature in Windows 7.
http://www.technospot.net/blogs/windows-7-automatically-dim-display-screen/

I suspect you need another driver (not the video card driver) since these function require control of the backlight. It seems Apple does not provide a standard driver that can be used by Windows as the display brightness can only be controlled through Apple's bootcamp drivers in the bootcamp control panel or using the keyboard shortcuts.
Even in Vista, if you go to the Windows mobility centre (Win+X)there should be a panel for display brightness. This panel is missing in bootcamp, suggesting the necessary drivers are missing. This is a shame, but I wouldn't hold my breath for Apple to ever provide these. Then again, I didn't think Apple would ever fix the touchpad drivers for Windows, but they seem to have finally done so in the Bootcamp 3.0 beta drivers, so maybe someday...
Windows 7 also supports automatic brightness changes based on an ambient light sensor, but again, no appropriate driver supplied by Apple...

Wheel Scrolling and Toll Control in Camera Raw

I use the Wheel Scroll option in the main program extensively as it enables me to quickly make repeateable adjustments whilst looking at the screen. It would be a great help if this option was included in the Camera Raw program.

>PTLens will get all the info from the EXIF data to select the right camera/lens/FL combo
The Exif data contains only the actual focal length and the maximal aperture value of the lens. These are not enough to identify the lens.
The MakerNote tag may or may not contain some more lens related information, but
1. in most images this is not present (it is not part of the Exif tags),
2. the structure of that data is not published,
3. there is a DNG tag, LensInfo, Adobe's DNG converter creates this tag from the MakerNote, but it contains only the min/max focal lengths and the respective max. apertures. This is still not enough to identify the lens, apart from the fact that the max aperture values are not filled for example in case of Canon lenses and Tamron/Sigma lenses on Canon body (I can state this with certainty only re Canon 20D and 1DsMarkII). Nikon's D100 and D2X shows the max. aperture values.
4. all this is still not enough to identify the lens.

Image suddenly reverted and history cleared after resuming from screensaver?

Apologies in advance everyone, I'm new here... I checked the FAQs and knowledgebase first, but didn't see anything remotely like this...
I'm running Photoshop CS3 v10.0.1 on Vista SP1, brand-new HP Pavilion m8400f machine w/AMD Phenom 9500 QuadCore 2.2GHz, 3GB RAM, ~600GB free still on HDD, not even old enough to bother defragging yet. I have a nVidia GeForce 8500 GT video card w/256MB dedicated video memory. Driver is updated.
I was working on an image and had to walk away for a bit. While I was gone, it went into screensaver, and when I came back, after logging back in I found that the image I had been working on had reverted back to an earlier state and that the history was cleared. No error messages came up and Photoshop was not frozen, crashed or etc. Business as usual, except that the image was "old," and the history gone.
Luckily it was recoverable, but I'm concerned about this happening again when it isn't. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm fairly sure I didn't click anything by mistake, press a key I shouldn't have...
Jessica

Absolutely, I should have saved. ::smacks forehead:: If I had lost anything unrecoverable, it would have been deserved. My mantra with Windows in general has always been to save early and often... because you never know. Forgot my own advice.
I was just wondering whether anyone else had run into this behavior before. John, I think it was just screensaver, but now I'm wondering whether there isn't something a little odd with the sleep process anyway... it's probably just something weird going on with my computer. Lovely. You buy a new system instead of building one, you hope you don't have to tech things. ::Sigh::
I'm going to be humming that all day at work Dave! Yes it is, it's a magic number...

MBP early 2007 model having issues with volume and brightness control keys (f1-f9)

My MBP, early 2007 (came with tiger 10.4 in the box) and now running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 is having some weird problems with its f1-f9 keys.
For about 2 weeks now I have noticed that I cannot change the brightness and volume (especially) using these keys.
The layout of the keys on my MBP are as attached:
I tried to google the problem and tried a few diy fix-its, however nothing seems to work... and there seems to be no clear answer either. One day, during these two weeks it suddenly worked for about 2 minutes then stopped again and hasn't worked since.
Anyone experienced any similar problems? or have any idea what I can do to fix it?
As a last resort, I would eventually get a wireless keyboard to use with the MBP.

The next time I shut down and restart my computer, the key problem is back again. And again I do the same procedure above to fix it and so on...
Hmmm, it sounds like a corrupt preference.
Open Console and let's see if there's anything in there to help us.

Touchsmart 610 no longer has Beats, Brightness Control with Win8 Upgrade

Hello,
When upgrading to Windows 8/8.1 I lost all Beats audio functionality and brightness can no longer be adjusted (there is a brightness slider but it does nothing).
Main Issues Noticed:
-When putting the computer to sleep or shutting down the audio makes a loud "pop" noise even when speakers are muted.
-Beats is gone, can't find any drivers to restore it.
-Brightness cannot be adjusted via brightness control on Win8 nor via system graphics properties.
-610 does not have any physical brightness buttons to adjust.
I have tried restoration to previous configurations, reintalling drivers, etc and nothing has worked so far.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello @EvoGuy,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I have read your post on how your desktop computer no longer has Beats Audio or Brightness Control after upgrading to Windows 8.1, and I would be happy to assist you!
According to the available supported software for your computer, there do not appear to be any available drivers for your Windows 8.1 operating system. If you wish to utilize the features of Beats Audio and the display brightness, I suggest refreshing your system back to Windows 8.
I hope this helps!
