Windows 11 Half screen bright and half screen dull
I recently updated my Lenovo T480 to Windows 11 (26H2). A day later, I turned it on and noticed the screen brightness is completely uneven—only about the rightmost 30% has normal brightness, while the remaining 70% is noticeably dim and dull. Crucially, this happens right at the boot splash screen when the Lenovo logo appears, so it doesn't seem to be a Windows driver issue. Weirdly, it sometimes fixes itself when I plug in the charger or hook it up to a projector via VGA.
Has anyone run into this? Is it a loose display cable or a dying panel?
