Public bug reported:

I can reproduce it approx on 2 of 3 trials.

1. Get the brightness up (not minimum) of the internal monitor
2. Have an external monitor plugged in in the VGA cable
3. unplug the external monitor
-> the brightness of the internal monitor is set to minimum
-> the fn keys to change the brightness don't work anymore (you are stuck to minimum brightness)

workaround:
- replug the external monitor and unplug it again
-> then, you can most of the time, change the internal monitor brightness through the Fn keys.
