    I am trying to get my screen to stay dim on battery power, but it won't. I have gone into the settings and repeatedly changed it to stay as dim as possible when the laptop is operating on battery, but it won't stay dim. It will either go dim and then when I start typing something immediately brighten considerably, or it will slowly brighten over the course of about 15 seconds and then is bright. I also tried adjusting the settings using the screen brightness adjustment key on the keyboard but the same thing happens. It will not stay dimmed. Any thoughts?
