    I'm not even sure if anyone cares for this mod since many of you retired this laptop and truth to be told, I wish I knew this earlier. Hey, 8 years better late than never, right? :(

    Anyhoooo, here we go!

    Open Regedit through Start menu > then locate through this directory: HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Sony Corporation\Vaio Event Service\Settings\VESAutoDimmer

    You'll find P20KBDBacklihgtIlluminanceLow and P20KBDBacklihgtIlluminanceHigh in the list. Go ahead and change the decimal value to 12 for both of them. Reboot and go ahead and retire that tape over your sensor! :p

    Side note: ' Backlihgt' typo is presented in the regedit, so uh... keep that in mind lol
