Unseen, as per http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an update is
available for your BIOS (1.43). If you update to this, does it change
anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  [Lenovo ThinkPad W510] Backlight stays on after screen off timer;
  screen off timer can not be disabled

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When the system is idle for the time specified in
  org.gnome.desktop.screensaver the screen fades to black (and lockes if
  set) but the backlight stays on.

  Also: the timer can not be turned off entirely. If the time is set to
  "Never" it still fades to black after some time.
