Unable to adjust brightness on a CF-31 Toughbook while booted in Windows (CF-31JBGEA1M) (Windows 7 Pro)

Device: Panasonic CF-31 Toughbook (CF-31JBGEA1M)

OS: Windows 7 Pro

Solutions Attempted: Changing power plan settings, updating drivers, and reinstalling Windows.

Drivers Attempted to Update :

dispsel_v1.02l10_m00_cf31_5_win7_32_d145735.exe

video_10.18.10.3977_custom-inf_pv_64bit_cf31_5_win7_64_d145595_d145399.exe

I am having a weird issue with a CF-31 Toughbook. While booted into Windows, I cannot change or adjust the brightness of the screen. I have tried using the FN + F1 and the FN + F2 hotkeys. I have tried to find a brightness setting in the advanced power plan settings under display, and I can't find a single brightness setting in any of the display settings in windows. So I tried to uninstall the Display Driver and monitor driver in Device Manager and have Windows reinstall the drivers using Windows Update while connected to the internet and restart the laptop. I then tried to uninstall the drivers and install the drivers from Panasonic's website, and I have installed updated drivers for hotkeys, display, graphics, chipset, System Interface and Video drivers, and nothing has let me change the brightness. I then did a clean reinstall of Windows 7 Pro, and it still has no option for brightness adjustment. I know it is an issue with Windows or the drivers, as when I am booting the laptop before it gets to windows, it lets me use the hotkeys to adjust brightness, and when I booted to a Ventoy USB, it also lets me adjust the brightness. At this point, I'm not sure what to do next, so I wanted to see if someone could help me fix the issue or has any idea what it is. Let me know if you need any more info about anything. I tried to include as much as possible.

I need a new AVE-RVL A Video Encoder Chip for a Wii system and I am struggling to find one for sale I have found the following listings but they are all sold out and seem to have been sold out for quite a while:

https://westingames.com/product/ave-rvl-u6-bu9055ekv-audio-video-encoder-ic-dac-tqfp-64-repair-for-wii/

https://westingames.com/product/ave-rvl-a-c8391-audio-video-encoder-u6-chip-ic-for-wii-motherboard-parts-pulled/?add-to-cart=196635

https://www.zedlabz.com/products/audio-video-encoder-u6-ic-chip-for-nintendo-wii-console-motherboard-ave-rvl-a-c8391-replacement-pulled-zedlabz

So I wanted to see if anyone knows of a place with stock or if anybody has one they would be willing to sell to me. or if anyone knows of a relocation kit or HDMI kit that doesn't require a working AVE-RVL chip. I'm located in Canada but I would be looking for one anywhere.
