Hello all. I accidentally threw my TV remote at my laptop and it damaged the right side of the screen. It had lines going up and down and was quite nerve racking. My computer is out of warranty, so ACER quoted $1200 for repair. Local techs in the area quoted $700. On Ebay, I found a company with high ratings and checked with them. They had a brand new screen that would work for only $250.
I thought everything was going fine after installation until I realized I couldn't adjust the brightness from the keyboard anymore. I also couldn't adjust from the right lower corner menu either. My display settings would also not control the brightness. The only way I have control over the display is to use my GPU and adjust it from the Nvidia center. It will not do anything on the integrated graphics card. Here lately, when my computer is running low on power (thanks to using my GPU all the time), the screen absolutely goes crazy with flickering. When I plug it in, it works fine.
I've updated everything I can think of. I have no idea what to do now other than buy a brand new gaming laptop. The brightness levels are hurting my eyes. It auto adjusts somehow so when I'm looking at this screen, it is SUPER bright. If I'm looking at something dark, it is at tolerable levels.
Please help!
