Hi, 

I have a Aspire V5-571 running windows 8 

My screen wont turn off auto brightness adjust so it keeps dimming in and out light to dark every minute highly annoying, this I believe is due to the adaptive brightness sesnor on the laptop. 

I went to battery settings, change plan settings and advanced options and then turned off "enable adaptive brightness when plugged in or not"

However it still does it even with this feature turned off so I think maybe its something on my laptop doing this also? 

I tried running on different battery plans high performance and balanced and it still happens. 

I have also disabled the sensor monitoring service via the services.msc but it still dims out, the brightness dims when I minimize a browser to desktop then brightnes back up when i load the browser or some other application.

Thank you very much for any input.

It sounds like this may be a hardware problem that would require service. You can try completely reloading the operating system using Acer Recovery Management. If that does not resolve the issue, I suggest contacting technical support in your region, to inquire about repair of your product.
