John D Marsden, as per http://support.toshiba.com/support/techPack?mid=3253740#currentBiosDiv an update to your BIOS is available (1.80). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything?  If it doesn't, 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

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report. As well, you don't have to create a new
bug report.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see

Title:
  [Toshiba Portege Z835-ST6N03] Brightness control lost after suspend
  screen dimmed

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Using Ubuntu 14.04.  Recently updated to kernel version Ubuntu
  3.13.0-30.54-generic 3.13.11.2

  I expect brightness of my LCD screen to remain the same and be
  controllable after waking from suspend.  It doesn't and isn't.

  This seems to have only started recently - presumably after a recent
  update.

  What happens:

  Brightness controls fully working after initial boot, both through
  function keys and system settings.

  After putting computer into suspend and then re-awakening the LCD
  screen comes up with lowest brightness in actual appearance but
  settings still show the brightness as set at suspend time.  Controls
  for brightness have become ineffective - they slide the brightness bar
  along but make no difference to the actual brightness of the screen.
