Hi there,

Why is the screen so dim, like on battery after an abrupt shut down?

Hi Chris,

start your PC in recovery mode and run "dpkg", you need a cable connection for this which you need to activate by clicking on "Network" before you start. Then restart your PC with "Ctrl + Alt+ Del".

To increase brightness you must find the key-combination for your laptop. Mine is Fn+F5. Check to see what your's is.
