![]() ![]() but the dimmer portion was never tested on your specific model. At this point I am starting to wonder if they installed the correct display? Sometimes displays are available for sale that claim to work with a number of models but there are minor differences such as its possible that the dimmer control is not functional because of a wrong driver problem, yet this display states it works because sure it works. Unless you were trying wrong drivers earlier and had them crash in which a clean install of Windows becomes a mine field of registry problems etc. With a direction to go in, if you want to give it another shot at a reinstall you can try that of Windows, but I feel you will be back where you started. So another reinstallation I dont believe will solve anything unless the first reinstallation was corrupted some how. ![]() Some things I've tried is installing in safe mode, re-downloading/extracting the archive, uninstalling (yes, the version message is the exact same when running setup.exe with it uninstalled), letting windows update install the driver, and probably just a few other things.

In the case of that issue, I immediately think of it being a driver issue, meaning I should re-install the graphics driver provided by Acer's driver download page for my model. When I'm in my Linux, the FN brightness shortcuts work, and the brightness slider is shown and works. However when I am in the BIOS, the FN shortcuts allow me to adjust the brightness. Windows doesn't have the brightness sliders, and the FN shortcuts doesn't change the brightness either. Whenever I boot into my windows, I don't have control over the brightness. The laptop screen's brightness is stuck at 100% power while it's running on AC power (when the laptop is powered off, the screen stays on at full power, showing a white screen) This doesn't bother me as much, and I doubt this is a software issue.
