When you first turn on the computer, press F1 and it will give you the menu. Find the place to control the brightness. Change it from Normal to Bright. It warns you that this will significantly decrease battery life. The battery works so well, that I doubt I will mind, even if it cuts the battery life in half. The screen looks amazingly bright now, even on battery! Thanks Beeblebrox! dk The BIOS trick worked. When you first turn on the computer, press F1 and it will give you the menu.

The best I have come up with is following the following sequence, First off, somewhere along the way in the following sequence I set up a custom configuration with my name on it for the battery settings. For the first time in my life, the battery never runs down, so I am trying to set everything for maximum performance, and I am not worrying at all about battery life. I followed theses steps: Think Vantage Button Device Configuration. Manage Power schemes Manage Settings Edit Display Brightness set to 7 7 is the highest brightness setting, but even at that as soon as I go from AC to battery, the screen dims. I am going to bug David Churbuck about it, and see if he posts a comment on his blog :) Hey Tim,

I am having the same problem. On AC power the screen is bright and great but drops down when on battery power. On battery power I increase the brightness as high as it goes but it is not the same. Have you found a way to make the sceen as bright on battery power as it is when plugged in? Tim In your comment:

The screen is awesome when plugged in, and I am sure would work outdoors, it is night right now :) When it is unplugged the power setting drops down the screen brightness. I am sure there is a power setting that you can change but I have not done it yet. If you want data on it, call Lenovo and ask to speak to Atkins Cho, or his boss Maria Morenos. Or if you really want to be bold, google David Churbuck and find his blog, and tell him I sent you over there. David is one of the V.P.'s of Lenovo. Lenovo, as I predict you know being in finance, is the spin off company from IBM for personal computers. I am thrilled with their customer service, which is probably more important today than even the choice of machines. Nice to meet you, and also being in Del Mar, I would love you to read the rest of our site. dk Hey Kris,
