Hello list, I've been switching out batteries from laptop to laptop because the ac port where I plug in the laptop died. They're supposed to come fix the mother board, but that was scheduled two or three weeks ago. Anyway, I noticed my monitor light is pretty bright. Would there be a way to dim it or just turn the monitor off until I need it? I was thinking about a driver to change the backlight, but I don't really feel comfortable doing that kind of programming. Not yet anyway. Would someone be willing to help me with this, or would there be another way to do it? Thanks, Tyler Littlefield.
