Hello, I have an MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013). The display is very dark, is there a setting that will make it lighter? I have the brightness all the way up. Thank you.

You can try resetting NVRAM/PRAM Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

(get at least two-three rounds of the chimes when holding the NVRAM Reset)



if no resolve—

try covering the light sensor right where the camera area is located and compare your results



In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment

Make an appointment for a "hardware issue"
