Lenovo Ideapad P400 Brightness Control Not Working

I've had my IdeaPad Notebook P500 for over a year, and rarely had an issue with it. Today, I accidently touched the F11 key, which happens to be the 'Brightness minus' key. Immediately, the screen went very dim, to the point where it actually hurts my eyes to be typing this.

Hi, I bought new z500 ideapad and funkcion buttons f11,f12 are not working to adjust brightness. Hi shockwave3, Can you try to apply the fix by help or advice?

  1. It is impossible to change the screen brightness with the hotkey (F11 and F12), or even with the slider in settings. This is a crap laptop. Wifi did not work from day1. For a while I turned off bluetooth to make wifi work. Even then the signal was very weak. Eventually it stopped working completely. Contacted lenovo support, the tech updated.
  2. On IdeaPad P400 touch, the screen brightness won't change, despite the graphic on the screen shows the meter goes up and down. After checking all drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling lenovo energy management, the problem still exists.

I can adjust the brightness sliders up and down on the screen, using both the F11/F12 keys and the slider box available from the 'Brightness' selection under 'Settings'. Even though the sliders go up and down, the screen stays the same very dark level.

I have uninstalled and re-installed the Intel HD driver.I have shut down the laptop and turned it back on while holding the F12 (Brightness plus) button. I have even rebooted several times.
