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.

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

That box was already un ticked :D 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.
