Hey guys,
Recently my laptop has begun showing signs of bizarre behaviour. Whilst on charge the brightness will change by itself, and I don't mean brighten/dim when the power cable is being inserted, I mean at random intervals regardless of how long the charger is in on how full the battery is. I have been into my control panel and changed the power settings, as well as creating a custom power config but the problem remains. I originally thought it may be a brownout but no other device in the house seems to be effected. Another possibly related problem is that when first put onto charge, the screen will dim, and when running via battery the screen will brighten. Therefore doing the opposite of how the power config is setup. I really am confused with this one, I am 99% certain it's not power related via an external source (i.e. a brownout). Any ideas on how to fix this? The laptop is a HP G5000 running XP 32bit should it be relevant.
