There are seperate settings for brightness when plugged in and on battery.
Check your settings for each of them.
Check in Control Panel > Power Options.
The power plan will have a brightness setting, is that set correctly?
If that doesn't help then it's possible that the charger is causing a short/ground somewhere which is affecting the power to the screen.

Also keep in mind that most laptops have keyboard shortcut for adjusting screen brightness. Check your F keys - thats where Dell tends to place them.
Ive tried that too, nothing happening. Its not the charger, i tried to use another charger but its still the same. I dont think it has anything to do with the options.
As I said, it's possible that the charger is causing a short/earth which is affecting the screen.
That's not to suggest the charger is faulty, rather the laptop is. It may be the the charger lead plug has twisted/moved inside the laptop and caused it to rest agaisnt another component. Causing a short when the charger is plugged in.
I fixed it downloaded a few drivers on dell's homepage. Thanks for the help anyway ^^
Always start with updating your drivers....always....
It's like we are all Red Jelly Beans in a Jar full of various colors. Every now and then they reach in and get a Red Jelly Bean.
We know we are in there, we can see the color, we just can't do anything to speed up our being taken out of the jar -- Jelly Beans can't speak.
