your laptop may have software installed to manage power...check out if there is such a thing running in the tray...it is the case in thinkpad..
but in my thinkpad i m using the power management in the control panel by selecting the laptop scheme.

you can try increasing brightness in AC or battery mode by pressing FN and F8 i think..it could be different for your laptop...check the manual..if one can increase brightness like this then it may not be the display problem

@realdan: u proved me a real fool....it was just fn+f8 to increase brghtns.....thanx tons dude....m runnnin in n around for 5 days for this....

everyone no matter how knowledgeable can sometimes omit something which seem very obvious and easy to solve

great to heard your problems now solved

dear speedyguy...
the thing u r facing isnt a problem this is the very primary power saving setting that all laptops have...

though u can brighten the brightness by the dedicated buttons on ur keyboard..
which model u have do post details,..
