Backlight on 614c

[ratoto]

Hi,
there are 5 levels for the backlight.
I see a clear difference going fromn 1 to 3 but no difference when I go from 3 to 5.
Any of you experienced this ?

Another question:
The power-setting management is such that the backlight is reduced after some time. If I am on level 3, the backlight is reduced automatically down to a light intensity, which corresponds to a level of 2. Why not 1 ?

mine has a big difference from 1-3 and a small difference from 3-5, but there is a difference.

mines set to "turn off backlight" after 30 seconds. After that it drops to level 1 brighness. Not sure why yours is at lvl 2

i'm playing with some REG value and remembered your question :D
here is a nice one
open a REG edit
then go
HKCU/control panel/backlight/

edit the value of "max brightness" from 4 to 8
you will get more levels of brightness and if you keep it low but good for your use it will save battery :)

the jump between level 2 to 3 is still strong but not as much as …

thanks EREZYAD, made the changes and it gave me the extra settings, but the jump is very small, so i went back to the default settings.

One thing i noticed though is even the lowest setting is rather bright. is there a way to make it darker?

my ipaq 6828 when set on the min setting was almost black.

HAVING MORE LEVELS IS GOOD FOR MIN LIGHT - BATTERY...

On my HP 614 all screen off programs just blank the screen, but backlight is still on in this low level 1 (or 2). Also when I configure in setting switch off backlight after 30 seconds, it will not switch backlight off, but to low level.

Why is that? Normally it shut be completely off, both - screen and backlight.
I was told on HP support that's a feature. But I'm sure it's bug.

yeah the back light stays on just the screen "displays" a black image

you can see the back light shining around the edges and the screen looks more grey than black.

I dont think you can ever switch of the backlight without pressing the on/off button

Have a problem with my 614c, when is charging, and display goes off after some time, it wont go on when i press the display button, just keyboard lightens, display goes on when i unplug it from power

[thebranded]

i have not seen that happen to me.

its not the slide show but with no pics so it showing a black screen right?

Maybe a hard reset (backup ALL data first) ?
