Hi Everyone,
I recently got my Alienware 14 with all options (windows 8, 64-bit). Everything seems to work fine excepted the screen brightness that is driving me nuts.
I explain myself here :
1) Whenever I am playing a video game and the battery goes to a low level, my screen brightness suddenly changes to 0 % while I want only the power button to be flashing until i am plugging my computer (i guess that is one of the point of Alien FX)
2) Once the brightness is at 0 % because of the battery level, I plug the computer and then the brightness goes to the brightness percentage I have been setting up in "power options" for "Plugged-in", which is normal.
My problem here is that when the battery is not low anymore (for example 70 %) and that I unplug my computer, the brightness goes down to 0% because of the above issue ! So every single time I need to manually reset my brightness level for "on battery" in "power options".
Thus, because of the first issue (point 1), I am having the second issue that does not make sense (my power options settings should not be definitely changed automatically by the computer and the brightness put 0% as default).
This is annoying me a lot as I am playing everyday on my Alienware.... but I did not find any way to fix this.
So I would really appreciate if someone from this Alienware community could help me on this.
Thank you so much !!!
PS: My brightness is set up at 44 % in both "on battery" and "plugged in". The adaptive brightness is disabled. The dimmed display brightness is at 44 % as well. "Low battery notification" is Off and " low battery action" is on "do nothing".
