Satellite R630-13L display randomly ramps up brightness to overdrive

Since purchasing my R630-13L, occasionally the brightness on the screen would for no appararent reason begin to brighten to the point that the screen is overdriven and the graphics get 'edgy'.

As randomly as it began it ended. I thought it was some sort of sensor linked to the in-built camera that automatically adjusted the brightness depending on the light conditions but then again I wasn't changing my environment not can I see any controls in the display panel.

The issue now is that when it does overdrive the display (as it is now) it remains on overdrive.

Has anyone else experienced this?
Any suggestions or ideas?

Hi

The display brightness can be changed using the key Fn + F5 (decrease) and Fn + F6 (increase).

Did you check this key combination? Does it help?

To be honest it is not easy to understand what happen exactly.

Do you have brightness level under control using FN+F6/F7 key combination?
Do you use original preinstalled operating system you got with your Toshiba notebook?
