LCD Power LEVEL 7 looks like 5 When on Battery

#1 Post by zxsuxr » Fri Oct 05, 2007 11:59 am

I have had this issue for sometime, when set to Level 7 for the LCD while running on battery, it looks as if it was set on level 5.

Any suggestions?
thanks!

... try go to Start --> All Programs --> ThinkVantage --> "ThinkPad-configuration" and select the LCD tab. Check the LCD intensity settings when operating from battery; is it set to " High" or "Normal"? I'm using "high", and don't see any difference when going on battery.

I assume you have already checked the Battery Maximizer settings (can also be done via the "ThinkPad-configuration").

Best regards,
