I've had this problem too, but it has been solved. Perhaps you have the same problem I did.
Is your screensaver on? If it is, TURN IT OFF. Even if you select "blank screen", it turns on the backlight. So, give this a try:
1. turn OFF the screensaver 2. on Powermanagement, set "put display to sleep when inactive" to the desired time
Please update this bug if this works for you
