    Just started happening recently. I normally am on AC power, but recently, I've developed problems with running the laptop on batteries alone. I know it's normal for the brightness to dim, as it normally does to save power when switching to battery mode. However, this is not just dimming. This is turning off completely, then back on, sometimes stays off. It usually settles to just off, but fixes itself immediately after plugging in like nothing is wrong. I don't think I put new drivers on...but I'm working on exploring that. Thanks.
