Posted this at the Microsoft forum earlier and just edited, no responses though and was wondering if others have had this problem or problems and know of a possible solution, really don't even want to stay on it anymore as not sure if there's only so much time left for it before it dies out.
Screen is very dim, keeps going from bright to dark
This problem just started two days ago but is getting worse, my laptop is a Compaq Presario CQ50-215NR, problem is how the screen is bright for a while after the computer is turned on but then starts dimming to a grayish color, it starts to get back to it's original brightness but never quite all the way. It's very hard to read it, it's almost like how the sun gets blocked off by clouds then they go away and come right back, screen has that 'overcast' description. Have tried a few things, did a clean boot, a restore, ran some trouble shooting programs and still it's like this and may be getting worse, have had this for over 3 years now could age be the issue or are there hopefully some other suggestions that I can do to get the screen back to normal? Thanks for any help on this matter.
PS- Also it seems as though I may be losing power(?) or something like that, the computer tends to die out for a few seconds quite often as of late, for instance I can't scroll or type, don't know whether the two issues are related.
Edit: About that power issue, seems as though much of it is because of the battery, after this post had turned the computer off for about 2 hours and just turned it on, battery was at 100% but after 15 minutes it's gone down to 86%, says plugged in not charging, also have had this issue as of late and don't know why, earlier today it stayed at 100% the entire time I was on but now for some reason it's not charging, why would the % be going down if it's plugged in and not drawing the power from the battery?
