Check your power manager settings. For some reason they default to less than
highest brightness on startup

A few months ago, the backlight on my work-provided T61 went out. I sent

coughing fit while I had H1N1!).
Since then, I feel like the new display is much dimmer. But I'm honestly
not
sure if that's really true, or if it's just because I'm also using a
lovely
LED-backlit T410.
Any suggestions? Any way I can test it? I don't feel right sending it in

spec.

This is a good question. My solution which might have been flawed
was to find a loce up lux meter, and stick it onto my laptop, and
then another T60p. I saw a difference, but not enough to make me
want to send mine in. I never followed up on it to see if it was
getting dimmer as it was stolen.
That might make some Lenovo techies day: ask what the lumen
level should be on your laptop!
...I hope Lenovo is still making Thinkpads in three years, so I can
get an LED backlight unit. They are really great, if a little blue.
