I'm on a Toshiba Satellite that's worked fairly well except for a few
self-repaired hiccups. However, about a week ago my power management plans
suddenly stopped working. I can switch from different plans that change how
quickly my display turns off, but my screen has been stuck at the lowest
brightness possible for a while now. It has nothing to do with the plans
themselves, I've restored all to their default settings and still no change
in brightness when I switch between all of them. The little slider to adjust
brightness simply does not appear anymore. I can't find what exactly it is
that's malfunctioning to reinstall, as no power management driver appeared on
my disk from Toshiba. Can anyone provide an explanation or perhaps a link to
repair this?

Hello, can you not just simply do a system restore, choosing a date
prior to the problem(s) arose ?

I'm out of idea, as I'm not a "geek", figure of speech. Just one wild
guess, it happened after you installed the SP1 ? If so, I can only
suggest ,and a lot of people will yell at me, perhaps you would consider
un-installed it. It's like i-phone came out, why do we Have to have it
?? Your computer life was pretty stable before, isn't it ?

It might have been SP1, though I don't really remember when I installed it.
How would I go about uninstalling in order to check?

Hello Shiroinohi,
If you "don't remember it", then you have NOT installed SP1. Sorry, I'm
out of idea.

Have you tried to go to
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp , select your model
and download the "Toshiba Value Added Package" and (re) install it? It has
the power management features. This might help, hopefully

Just uninstalled and reinstalled the package, and still no change, thanks
though.

Hello Ralfg,
You might want to take a look at your OS C drive. Is it badly running
out of space ?
