    laptop screen

    my friend has a hp pavilion zv5000, when i unplug it from the adapter, and go on battery only the screen dims to save energy. Is there a way to turn that off?... please advise.

    thanks

    What about Power Saver in Control Panels? On my Dell it has different setting for plugged in, battery, etc.

    Yeah, its a power saving feature in Windows XP, not a BIOS thing.

    Quite often there will be a software configuration utility that is preinstalled (Dell's is called 'Quickset" and such).

    Of course, you should be able to turn up the brightness manually no matter what (usually a key you press with the Fn button).
