That is a bit weird... If you check /etc/default/grub for the line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

Try changing it to this instead:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor"

And then do "sudo update-grub" and reboot.

Or did you say that the laptop's screen is physically broken?
