I just received my GS70 from HIDevolution, it has a single 256gb SSD instead of the super raid0 setup. I can't change the brightness of the screen (both with the function keys on the keyboard or by going into the control panel), I'm not sure what the problem could be, any help?

Look for the Intel VGA driver. Download and install that first (use the stable one for now, and not the beta). You may want to update the chipset driver while you're at it, if it's not already current. -
I would do a clean install of windows and install all the drivers.. then try...Best thing is to get factory install out and I bet you won't have a problem. my 2 cents

Worth checking out the video drivers first

Hello all, I've tried all of the above, minus the fresh install, and have had no luck. I've reset Windows 8 to factory defaults but that did not fix the issue either. I'm at a loss as the software appears to be working but the hardware doesn't comply.

Is this the same on battery and mains?

I know this thread is a bit old but I came across the following article that fixed my issue on a GT70 with Windows 8.0. Basically it suggests deleting your monitor driver from Device Manager and then re-installing the generic Windows one.

I'm sure you've probably already checked this...but also make sure that "Adaptive Brightness" is disabled in the advanced power saving settings. That can prevent other brightness changes if it's enabled.
