HP laptop screen dimming and brigntening.

[harveson]

AMD A6-5200 HP laptop screen dimming and brightening:

Virus, power port damaged, battery near end of life,

Or, ...
Windows Update just fired off another set of downloads and the "dimming and brightening" is the OS trying to get your attention to restart the computer.

This was the case for me. 

Microsoft OS solution for everything - reboot (still, after all these years).
