From: Fixer on 23 Jan 2010 14:08 Had a customer bring in a Insp6000 for a broken screen replaced the screen and although it displays it is not at full brightness, however disconnect the flex cable from the inverter and then reconnect voila up it comes at full brightness. Reboot the Pc and again it displays alot dimmer and disconnect the flex cable from the inverter and reconnect and everything is fine. Now I've tried swapping the flex cable and the same thing happens, I've tried swapping the inverter and same thing happens. I know the screen is good as it works fine in a insp 1520. so anyone got any ideas? connector on the M/B ??? I dont think so, faulty cable might be but stange two do the same thing and same goes for the inverter. Ohh yes settings set to max in BIOS --

Whatever the display brightness is set to will be restored upon reboot. Maybe resetting the display brightness using Function + Up or Down arrow will cure. Good luck... Dean

Also, the Fn + Up will brighten, but the brightness will not be set permanently, and will revert back to QuickSet setting upon reboot. Change the QuickSet setting.
