If it's a hardware issue (I'm no expert on Acer support), try smartdimmer. It's a handy gnome app that lets you reduce brightness etc.

Or else, right click on a panel, select "Add to panel", and then search for brightness applet. This should work even if your keys don't.

Are you able to bring up the brightness controls on the panel? If you are and it doesn't work from there then it's a hardware issue and you should check out smartdimmer as a workaround.
