Well ,
there is something you can do and see if backlight works.

Open a terminal (CTRL+ALT+T) and give this command

gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub

at the opened window , search and find the line

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

and change it to look exactly like this

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi="

proofread , save the document and then

run in terminal this command

sudo update-grub

Reboot your PC and see if problem solved

Thanks
