This thing has a ambient light sensor. Anyone know how to turn it off? I cant find any setting nor in BIOS and online suggestions do nothing. Nest stage is open the laptop and pill the wire as its that bloody annoying.

What's the problem, automatic contrast adjustment?

Is it? Quick google was telling me Ambient light sensor. I sit at the window and when the sun is direct onto the sensor it changed the light on the screen what i am finding annoying as and shadow, even for a few seconds make it change again, then again. I dont want a sticker on the screen so looking to turn it off if i can

Option in setting on my laptop to disable the light sensor?

Untick the "change brightness automatically..." box should fix it

Yeah, but Felix will be using Linux

That box was already un ticked I am trying to refrain from sticking a sticky plaster over the sensor but feel i am going to have to. The bloody thing is not even mentioned in the set up manual.
