My screen keeps dimming on an HP Pavilion g notebook with Windows 7, why?

[Tyhoic]

Mine is fixed. 

I found it only did it when loading an internet page...

I played around with the settings and downloaded the AMD thing suggested in a previous post. 

I believe it was the AMD that fixed it.

You could try... 

- Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options

I'm currently on HP recommended, Just depends which you want. 

- Click 'Change Plan Settings'  and fiddle with some stuff in there. 

OR 

Go to Control Panel and in the address bar put this... 

- Control Panel\System and Security\System

- Click 'Device Manager' on the Left. 

- Go to 'Display Adapters' (dropdown list)

- Double click the AMD

- Go across to the 'Driver' tab

- Click 'Update Driver' > 'Search automatically for updated driver software'

Then explore the options it gives you, and see if anything needs updating. 

Let me know which works! 

Hope this helped.

In the power-play section of AMD catalyst control center,I didnt find any check/uncheck vari-bright option,it only has check/uncheck enable power play option..I've also checked that my driver is up to date,please suggest some other way of solving this problem.

This did NOT help my problem
This is not the first time an HP product has started giving me problems for no reason. Is there another soultion on the computer I can try using? 
Previously when I would minamize internet/firefox the brightness would return.
After following said instructions, it will not brighten back up...
I have to be sitting in a dark corner to see my screen.
What can I do?

I've done that to the 3rd step but I didn't find the "Enable Vari-bright" option at all

Any other solutions please?
And thanks for your help

There Is no Enable Vari-Bright" option? what should i do?

I was having this issue and couldn't find the vari-bright thing on the catalyst control centre but i fixed it.

1) Go to the power options bottom right battery symbol and click it and open "more power options".

2) Next go to the power option you are using and click "change plan settings".

3) Click "Change advanced power settings" and scroll down the list to "display".

4) Expand display and look for "Enable Adaptive Brightness".

5) Expand that and turn it off for plugged in or battery whichever you want to.

and thats how i fixed it.

Thanks a ton.

This did save me from thinking that i got a faulty laptop,

Mine is a 15-e002AU, the settings were 100% right as explained.

Good Job.

Thanks a billion, your awesome. But I wonder why doesn't this happen when I use the old version of windows. It only happened when I updated to sp1, I was thinking to downgrade it and I saw you post the solution, THANKS!!!!!
