Well, you say you're running an up-to-date F22.  And, I think, you've said it

OK but has been giving you trouble at some point after the initial install.

If that is the case, then booting to a LiveCD of the original F22 should not 
fail.  I
would try that first as well as trying a LiveCD of F23 which is the current 
version.
Oh, one more thing.....

I just noticed that on a laptop that I have if I set the brightness to MAX in 
the
system-settings (I'm using KDE) but I use the FN key of the laptop and use the 
brightness
UP/DOWN keys on the laptop I can control the brightness of the screen even 
though the
settings remain at MAX.

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.
