My laptop Screen is extremely dim

Thanks for the info buddy.

Two other questions:

Can you tell me when this started to happen?

Is your video card up to date?

Try to follow these steps:

1. Press Windows + R
2. In the search field type: Regedit
3. Click YES and a screen will open.
4. On this screen, copy this command: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Class \ {4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318} \ 0000

In the 0000 folder in the right corner look for: "FeatureTESTcontrol"

(Tip if you don't have it in the 0000 folder, below you should have the 0001. folder. See if it's in this folder).

Notes: It is not the word "FeatureControl, but FeatureTESTEcontrol"

5. Double click and a window will open.

In the "Value data" option you will have some numbers, delete them and put: ffff

And also make sure "Hexadecimal" is checked

after that, say "ok" and restart the Laptop.

I understand that your laptop screen is very dark.

What make and model of your laptop?

When you use an external monitor, does the screen return to normal brightness?

Hello, I have an Asus Tuf Gaming fx505dy

And yes, the screen is fine on an external monitor.

Not 100% sure exactly when this started happening but within 2 months forsure.

And I cant find the FeatureTestControl in the 0000 folder and 0001.

I am also currently installing the Radeon Software to check if my GPU is up to date.

Edit: I have updated all of my Drivers and restarted my PC. Screen is still Dim.
