Why is my screen dimly lit?

Hello, Mr. Eagle.

There are two typical issues that occur which may be making your screen light dim.

(1) Your screen may be disabled. In this case, press the buttons fn+f7 in order to enable/disable screen lock.

(2) Check your battery life. After plugging in your charging cord to a fully functional wall outlet, wait a couple of minutes for your computer to reboot. Once the laptop reboots, the screen light should be restored.
