Title:
  Backlight off after power failure on Lenovo Thinkpad SL510

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Recently, there was a power failure (i.e., the laptop ran on battery
  until that was empty) and subsequently shut down. I did not manage to
  rewake it again (after reestablishing the power supply), so I had to
  turn it off completely and reboot. The result is that the backlight is
  off. The LCD is still working normally (i.e., I can barely make out
  some contours in reflectance), as are external monitors (both VGA and
  HDMI work). When using the brightness hot-keys, the notification shows
  up (correctly indicating the change in brightness), but the backlight
  remains off, no matter what I do. I also tried xbacklight,
  /sys/class/backlight/..., setpci, etc., but to no avail.

  Following the guideline at
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging/Backlight, I'm attaching the
  requested files. Changing the various acpi_* kernel boot parameters
  showed no change (except that the brightness controls changed to 7
  instead of 15 different settings).

  BTW: Booting into Windows showed the same effect. Also, during boot,
  the backlight is off and the external monitor is not getting a signal,
  so I can't check the bios.
