    Hello,

    As you know, when the notebook is on AC power, the display uses maximum brightness. When it is on batteries, it uses a reduced brightness.

    The problem that I observed is that If I start the laptop on batteries and plug in the AC Adapter while BIOS is loading, it does not change the brightness to maximum. Why ?

    If I plug it in after the BIOS screen, it changes the brightness perfectly.

    Please advice on how to correct this...
