Changing brightness on T43

#1 Post by tony_12357 » Wed Jan 18, 2006 5:54 pm

I bought a new Thinkpad T43. Every time I change the brightness of the screen using Fn + Home or End. After I reboot the machine, the brightness gets automatically reset to max bright. Is there any way to make the brightness to stay with my previous setting? I search through the manual and the Lenovo web site but couldn't find any information on this. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome to the Thinkpad Forum :)

You can modify and/or create new power management profiles in the Power Manager; click the green battery icon and create a new power profile. There is an option to set the screen to any of 7 levels of brightness upon application of that power profile. HTH :)

Thanks for the help. I change the power management profile and able to adjust the brightness.

Regarding to the fan noise, I read the posting. I guess I need to really digest the content before I am able to use the utility. The utility seems powerful but complicated.
