    Hey all. Specs are in da siggy.
    Basically, I have the brightness all the way down. Start up a game = brightness goes to max. Can't turn back down. The slider moves if using Fn+F6 combo, but doesnt actually change. Even after quitting a game, the brightness is still stuck. Pretty annoying at night when I am on the laptop with the lights off and a game goes on then go back to Chrome and a white webpage blinds me.

    Only thing I can think of is to update your GPU drivers [either directly from nvidia or from Toshiba].

    Hopefully that fixes it.

    Also..check your power plan settings, it's like you have a utility conflict. This problem is on all your games, right? Just games that use the 560, not the Intel?

    Has this happened since day one? If not then what about after window updates or software installs?

    Curious...
