I had a similar problem on a T23 that when it thought it was
running on batterys, it would go into a power conservation mode
and dim the screen.  Sometimes, when I would then plug in the supply,
it would not brighten the screen.  I had to go into the ' battery/power'
applet and try to set a 'high power' scheme - and the screen came back
to full intensity.  I have not had that happen since and don't know if
it applies to a model as old as a 380x... I have a 385ed also.
