T400 vista login screen too dark

On my t400 with Vista Business the login screen is so dark that it is hard to see anything. It can be made brighter by using the brightness control keys, but this is a nuisance if you have to do this first before you can logon. Is there any way to set this logon screen to a higher default brightness??

It's a power saving feature.
Check the Power Manager options under the Globat Settings tab and uncheck the option to dim the screen during startup/log-in.

  • Screen too dark to see - it lights up when I plug it in a charger

    my screen is too dark to see - can see SOMETHING in background - but too dim.  I can plug into a charger and it gets normal brightness.  Sometimes it starts flashing crazily!  I am frustrated.  This phone is my third or fourth phone (lost track) and all have been manufacturing problems.  HELP!

    The screen needs to be replaced

  • Expansion Module screen too dark?

    Hi,
    Has anyone used expansion module? I have tried this product recently, everything works fine except the screen. I think the screen is too dark to see the speed dial on it. I have tried both 7914 and 7915, but got same result. How can tune it more easy to see? Thank you!

    You can use the Contrast setting in the phone's settings button. The 7914 and 7915 are monochrome without backlighting so be sure you are not expecting something it does not provide.

  • Ipod 4th gen. screen too dark, adjusting brightness does not help

    lost ipod for a few weeks. When found screen is too dark.  If you hold it in the light just right you can see everything and it works, you just cant see it.

    That actually happened to my friend. But he literally took the screen off and then did something in the inside but I'm not sure what he did. But yeah it should be something on the inside of the screen.

  • ACD 23" - No Image Until Vista Login Screen

    System: Windows Vista 32-bit Business Edition
    Processor: 3.06 Ghz P4
    Video Card: Raedon 9800 XT
    Hopefully someone can give me some clarification on this. But when I boot up my PC none of my boot up screens are visable on my 23" ACD. I cannot view the prompts to access my bios or anything until my PC loads Windows Vista up to the Login Screen. Everything is fine after that. Is this because my BIOS runs at a non-supported resolution? Is there anyway to get this to work? Currently I have to hook up another monitor if I need to make any BIOS changes and its really annoying. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    When I was searching I didn't realize it was only looking at the last 90 days. Sorry for the post.

  • Screen too dark to read after reboot. How to fix this.

    AFter reboot, screen so dark I can barely see it. How may I fix this!

    Hi Jbr8d,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. Are you able to adjust the screen brightness, as outlined in the following article?
    OS X Mavericks: Adjust your display’s brightness
    If you are unable to adjust the brightness, or the brightness setting isn't retained or doesn't respond to ambient light (if you have a MacBook Pro with an ALS), you may want to try resetting the System Management Controller, as noted below:

  • How can i completely remove a guest account? from the login screen too?

    Having difficulty removing my guest account. I've gone to system preferences and unchecked the guest account but it still appears upon computer boot up as an option. I want it completely off and not showing on the screen when turned on.

    On your login screen, that's not a true "Guest" account. It's actually a security feature..your Mac will restart to a secured Safari-only version of the OS with access to the Internet...this enables you to find your Mac using iCloud. Thus, this should NOT be disabled.

  • T400 Vista Secondary Screen Does not Appear

    Booting the T400, running Vista, would not initiate the second display (when it would normally would) connected to a  Mini-Dock. I had created a default template called 'digital_left_analog_right' but selecting this option did nothing.
    I have to manually select the ATI Control Manager and select to 'Extend display on the 'ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400' in order for the second display to kick-in.
    I am trying to learn all the nuances to teach my users how to use T400 on Vista. Unfortunately, this has been as simple as XP was.
    Thanks.

  • Black screen (or screen refresh) during the process of start up. T400, Vista home basic.

    My 2 weeks old T400 Vista home basic can start up successfully. But every time when I start or restart it, during the start process, after inputting the password, there are 4 times of black screen (or screen refresh). Is it normal? Thanks.

  • Reverts back to dark gray login screen and will not allow me to login

    HI!
    SPECS 
    Retina 15in.
    16gb of memory
    500 gb ssd.
    OS - Mavericks
    PROBLEM
    I can boot up and login to my laptop - no problem. I have my login set up so that my user name appears and all I have to do is type my password.
    The problem is when I try to wake my computer or disconnect it from my thunderbolt display. Sometimes, (more frequently as of late) when I wake my computer or disconnect it from my thunderbolt display my computer will revert back to a dark gray login screen and prompt me to put in my user name and password (First of all the login screen that comes up is different than the one that comes up when i boot up the laptop because it requests me to type in my user name). - once I type in my user name and password it will not let me log in. It will clear both the username and password fields and sit at this screen. At this point I am forced to restart my laptop and log back in. I never have any problems restarting and loging in right after booting up.
    Any suggestions on how I can fix this? I do not think it is normal for it to just revert to the login screen and then not even accept my login information.
    Thank you in advance for all and any help!

    First try a Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

    3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the Steps in this article to force the device into Recovery Mode.

  • The screen saver too dark

    ok i had my e65 a fews days now and i have
    nearly figured out everything as in all
    the functions with the exception of these,
    which i need help with.
    1, when the sreensaver comes on i notice
    that its too dark and i mean, if i wanted
    to quickly look at the time and/or date
    i have to focus properly to see it, i cant
    quickly glance on it as other phones
    is there some sort of control to adjust the
    clock on the screensaver to turn the brightness
    or contrast up a bit that i may have
    overlooked ?
    2, whats the real purpose of this light sensor
    on the top right hand corner ?
    i have covered it a few times in day light and
    low to no light at all but nothing happens.
    thanks in advance

    KD44
    "Did you work out how to do it, I've still not sorted it either?"
    nope i have not figured them out yet... the screen saver is too dark and that light sensor must be some sort of joke.
    MINI RANT MODE ON
    the light sensor really annoys me to look at knowing it serves no purpose at all and after using a few other screen savers its too bloodly dark. it would of been better if nokia had put nothing there at all at least this way i could understand that there is nothing to look at.
    as for the slow capture actions of the camera..... well i will leave that for another time
    MINI RANT MODE OFF
    apart from that though the nokia e65 is the best ever phone i have used to date. connecting via VPN or SSH to my home server is a breeze, using SIP with www.sipgate.co.uk is like talking on a house phone (very clear) the internet is fast even with the stock browser.
    too many good points to mention
    sorry KD44 i think i slightly diverted from the main question
    if you figure them out then please let me know.. its obvious that one other nokia knows the answer.
    Thanks
    Nokeya

  • Printout is too dark. PSE 7, Windows Vista

    Hi,
    My name is JPSingh. After editing when I print the photo is darker than the display. This does not happen when printing the same image with the same printer driver when I use Microsoft Office Picture Manager and Canon Easy Photo PrintX.  The settings in Photoshop are:
    Edit/Color Settings: No Color Setting or Always Optimize for Printing (does not affect print- still too dark),   Print Color Managem
    ent: Color Handling/ Photoshop manages color, Printer Preference: Canon MX850/ Color Intensity: Manual, Printer Profile:created by C
    olorMunki (works with other photo editing programs), Rendering Input: Perceptual
    Browser: Firefox
    Operating System: Windows Vista
    Printer model / driver version: Canon MX850
    Video display card / driver version: Windows/System32/drivers
    Would like to hear soon.
    JPSIngh

    Try using Color Management as : Printer Manages Color and check whether it makes any difference.

  • Vista login does not fade in, often black artifacts or half screen black

    I've installed a legitimate copy of Windows Vista Business 32 bit on my new Macbook Pro 2.53 Ghz Late 2008 twice now, as well as installing all the bootcamp 2.1 drivers and getting to the latest windows update -
    This still happens - the windows login screen (after the vista circular logo appears with the noise) is supposed to fade in as I've seen it do on my friends' identical macbook pro (but he installed vista 64 bit), but it never fades in for me - it either flashes black and then appears or sometimes the black will appear jagged and cover up half my screen for a second.
    Does anyone else have this issue, and if so, know if it's a software/driver issue or a hardware issue? I want to get a new macbook pro if my graphics card or memory is messed up -
    I'm not using fusion or parallels, just bootcamp.
    Thanks,

    Huh, it helped to restart the computer. :-) And I thought that Apple never needed to be restarted. :-)

  • Lenovo T400 screen goes dark issue, some video driver problem

    Lenovo:
    Motherboard:
    CPU Type: Mobile DualCore Intel Core 2 Duo P8600, 2400 MHz (9 x 267)
    Motherboard Chipset:  Intel Cantiga GM45
    System Memory: 1992 MB (DDR3 SDRAM)
    BIOS Type: Phoenix (08/19/08)
    Display:
    Video Adapter: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family 
    Video Adapter: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family 
    3D Accelerator: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 
    Problem/Issue:
    Driver problem appeard after upgrading from XP to Windows 7.
    From the Device Manager I saw that ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 was not working properly and
    a) I did the "update driver software." After restart the screen light was darker than usual. (This was usual if I was working from battery but I was plugged in this time. ) 
    As I'm not the best with computers I thought my drivers might be in conflict and to prevent serious damages, I just
    b) disabled ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 from device manager. 
    This actually resolved the dark screen problem.
    c) then I went to Lenovo support site: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-72858
    downloaded newest drivers for ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 (Switchable Graphics Driver)
    and Intel 4500MHD (Intel GM45 Express Chip)
    For some reason while installine the: Intel GM45 Display Driver (version 8.15.10.2302) gives me error:
    "This Computer Does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software"
    Also some problem appeard when installing the new downloaded version:
    ThinkPad Switchable Graphics Driver  (version 8.792.5-110424b-119200C)
    d) so I went back to device manager and made an update to ATI Mobility Radeon  from there. 
    Well, I got it working, but the screen went dark again. When I disable the driver it goes back to normal
    brightness and when I enable it again, it stays normal.
    I'll try to restart and see what happens

    We had the excat same issue.
    I could get the picuture back pressing the power button until it went to sleep and then wake it up again.
    After the I went to device manager to delete all display drivers both Intel and ATI and then reboot.
    doing the reboot windows found some drivers it could use.
    I then installed the switchable driver from lenovo.
    Now windows device manger report two display drivers:
    1)
    ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series, Version 8.792.5.2000, Driver manufacturer ATI Technologies Inc
    2)
    Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family, Version, Version 8.792.5.2000, Driver manufacturer ATI Technologies Inc
    So it seams the switchable ATI driver take over the Intel card and the Intel driver is not needed.
    At least the problem is solved for us.
