I just created an account to thank you, Erwin. I've spent weeks going mad looking for a solution (no idea how I didn't come across this), and your fix helped. Note: My laptop's model is slightly different, NP780Z5E. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs,

I also have the NP770Z5E. What helped me was to change the grub kernel boot parameter to acpi_osi=linux acpi_backlight=video in /etc/default/grub (line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=) (I have Debian Linux). Hint was found at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Backlight#Kernel_command-line_options

Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem? Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.2 kernel[0
