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.

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".

It could be a driver issue then.

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.
