Hey everyone! I accidentally turned down the brightness on my Lenovo laptop to the lowest setting, and now the screen is practically black. The keyboard isn't responding, and I can't seem to find a physical brightness control on it. I tried to reboot and even went into safe mode, where the screen was visible, so I know it's not a hardware issue. I really could use some help to get my brightness back to normal!

I had a similar issue with my old Lenovo Thinkpad. What worked for me was connecting it to an external monitor. Once connected, try pressing the Windows key + P to open the projection options and select 'Duplicate.' This should mirror your screen on the external monitor, allowing you to adjust the brightness from there!
Have you tried just turning the brightness back up? Sometimes it's as simple as using the keyboard shortcuts. You might have to be creative if your keyboard isn't working, though! Let me know if that helps or if you need more ideas.
Thanks, I'll give that a shot!
