    You can go into your laptop's power options(in control panel) and change the brightness settings so that when you unplug it won't go dark and you won't have to mess with th FN keys or manually adjust it every time you unplug your laptop.

    You'll also use more battery on higher brightness settings when unplugged.

    There should be a FN key on your keyboard. There should also be a 'sun' icon on two keys of the keyboard. Hold the FN key and press one of the sun-looking icons. If the screen gets darker, hold the FN key and press the other sun icon. This should change the brightness... do it while the ac is unplugged.
