iBook screen dims - mymac - 05-02-2007

Using a12" iBook G4 1.33, 1GB RAM, 10.4.9. After the iBook has been asleep for an extended period(e.g. 1+ hours) the screen is dim when it wakes. It is as if I had intentionally dimmed the screen. I can easily get the brightness to increase with the F2 key, but this is annoying. It usually looses 3 bars on the brightness indicator. Anyone else experienced this? Any solutions?

This is normal, IIRC. Give it maybe 5-15 minutes, and it should be back to normal. If not, then there may be a problem.

Sounds to me like your preferences:

System Prefs:

Energy Saver:
Settings for Battery
Optimization: Custom

Options:
Uncheck Automatically Reduce Disply Brightness Before Sleep
