[Bug 685727] Re: When i upgraded to 10.10 the screen on my laptop(Gateway nv79) went completely black and I could not see anything unless I held a flashlight to the screen to see. The only way I am able to fix this is issue is by doing a system test. But as soon as my laptop goes to sleep it goes back to the black screen. I could not find another fix because once I did the system testing for 10.10 it would not allow me to do the testing again to fix it.

Latest kernel update to 2.6.35-27 still has same issue .. is anyone
seeing this issue? Four kernel upgrades have occurred since the NV79
Backlight power off issue has been logged? Is this the wrong forum for
these issues?? I would like to use the later kernels but cannot because
the LIGHTS ARE OFF on the display. It worked on kernel 2.6.32.27 .. so
it has got to be something simple that was changed.
