even after changing all the power settings.
even after adjusting the windows mobility centre brightness slider.

There is a power saving setting which is set to dim the screen after a certain amount of time.
It's in the power management. You weren't thorough enough. -

It's in the power management. You weren't thorough enough.first i choose a plan. then i set the 'never dim the display' to 'never'. i also set the 'adjust brightness brightness' slider to the extreme right. then i save changes.
anything i did wrong or did not do?

You do not just choose any random plan. The radiobox beside the plan must be selected. Then you click on the advanced settings. There are two options in the plan which uses "dim the display", they are battery and plugged in. So you have to set both to "never".

i wonder if this laptop is given free to customers because it full of shit.
this laptop has a hell lot of problems.

even installing updates can fail. update everytime i log off and everytime fail. when i googled for help they ask me to troubleshoot. simi lanjiao? they come up with problems and expect users to troubleshoot.

A reformat is in order.
Personally I'm never supportive of leaving a laptop in its stock form.
The Windows installation on it is full of crap.

U260 ah? send to lenovo for repair lah...

I'd rather you sell it for cash and get a decent laptop.
Lenovo's IdeaPad units are far from the best things money can buy.
Heck, a modern HP is much more reliable than this.Can't go wrong with Asus either.

i got it free from starhub.
dont want to spend unless necessary.
have to bear with it since its free.
btw its y460

No, the problem could be a one-off. If you say the laptop is free, think again! You are paying more every month, so in the end, you are paying for the full price of the laptop.

Download from Lenovo site.
