Without noticible cause the brightness of the screen of my laptop is no longer adjustable and stuck at the lowest level. Both the hotkey on my keyboard and the brightness submenu in the system settings no longer show any reaction to changes (i.e. key pressing and using the regulation bar in the menu).
The issue persists after rebooting which makes the main screen of my laptop unusable and it necessary to plug in an extra monitor!
