# cd /sys/class
# find backlight -name "*"
backlight
backlight/intel_backlight
# cd backlight/intel_backlight
# ls
actual_brightness  bl_power  brightness  device  max_brightness  power
 subsystem  type  uevent
# cat actual_brightness
0
# cat max_brightness
4882

actual_brightness is 0, but brightness is on maximum!
