What is the make and model of your laptop?

What video card and driver do you have? Open a terminal window, type in the following command, and post back the results:

sudo lspci -vnn | grep -A10 VGA

In a terminal:


gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local

Put this line before the "exit 0" line:

echo 10 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness

Save, reboot and see. Note that 10 means full brightness.

echo 10 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness .

I'd just like to point out that people trying to fix this should check the path provided because on some other forum/topic they said intel_backlight, but on my system it says acpi_video0. Just a heads up for people less skilled, who are looking for quick fix. And it works, yes. Sorted out mine at least :)
