I have an HP laptop, which has just returned from service. It was having problems charging the battery and they put in a new motherboard.
Now, it is charging fine but the minute I pull the power cord out and the laptop is on battery power, the screen goes darker. Not dark enough for me to not see anything, just simply darker.
If I plug the power cord back in, the screen goes brighter straight away.
Any idea why it's doing that? :confused:
Probably supposed to work that way, (i.e., turn off the backlight when running on battery to conserve power). There may be a setting somewhere to override it though. What model HP is it?

I don't like it, an I wanna get rid of it.
I'm not sure of the model, it's a 'pavilion' if that helps.
I tried changing the power schemes, but it didn't help.
