GPT is to MBR as UEFI is to BIOS. GPT is a partition scheme. BIOS is a
firmware type. So there's no such thing as a BIOS disk. But if I guess
that by BIOS you mean sda is an MBR drive, in which case this is not a
supportable configuration and you should reinstall Fedora so you get a
UEFI based installation, and sda is partitioned using GPT.

Many firmware do have a legacy option in the firmware setup, but you'd
have to switch legacy on to boot this particular installation you have
of Fedora; and switch it back to boot Windows. That's probably why
right now only Windows is booting.

I have the same problems with Fedora 23 and 24. The bluetooth mouse
business is sort of a mess.

bluetooth mouse isn't active at login window after booting
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1337353

bluetooth mouse randomly stops working, manual reconnection is required
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1340659

can't connect to bluetooth devices unless wireless is disabled first
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1340620

bluetooth cannot be enabled in the GUI, doesn't see hardware,
bluetoothctl works OK
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1318441


The last comment in the last bug might have a hint for your situation,
which is $ sudo systemctl --global enable obex; but I've only just
used that and it's too soon to tell if it'll fix any of the problems
I'm having.

Basically I included that information to show that the system was

That's not exactly true.  While there isn't a way to control the
backlight with ordinary monitor connections, brightness and contrast of
the generated video signal can be controlled.  Of course this gives
worse results than supplying a full signal to the monitor, and adjusting
the monitor controls.  And cannot make a picture more brilliant if
you're using a (LCD) monitor that uses a backlight (that's running dim).

So, maybe you have a laptop HW Function that you can play with?

I am sitting in the Delta lounge until boarding time (just flying down 
to my parents in VA Beach for a quick visit), and was working on this 
super dim notebook screen


I looked at the hardware maint manual and there IS an ambient sensor 
integrated with the camera clip.  In fact I can see it right next to the 
camera.  I will open up my 'hanger queen' system when I get back and 
pull the clip from that one to switch into this.


Meanwhile, boy, one really tends to forget about function keys beyond 
turning wifi off and on.  Your recommendation to use the brightness 
control worked like a charm.


Thanks.  I am good for now.  Probably won't be until next week that I 
can swap out the ambient sensor  Will post back then.

Well, you could install vlc from rpmfusion.  It supports webcams.

I forgot about VLC supporting webcams, as it is part of my 'base

works, but notebook screen dim and external working fine.
