17" MBP - no screen ilumination when resuming from sleep

[ron1004]

I've had the bug since installing the latest Lion update 10.7.3

I never shut down my 17" MBP, just close the lid and let it sleep, however, since the latest Lion update when I open the lip the screen illumination comes on briefly and then turns off - I then hit one of the screen brightness buttons (F1 & F2) and the screen illumination comes back on.

How do I go about correcting this ?


PS. Sorry if this has been posted - a search didn't come up with anything.

The same problem is reported on the Apple forum, but no solution.

I've been looking for answers, since upgrading to lion, my problem is more of a nusance, when I close the lid on my macbook pro (15" 2.66 i7, 8GB RAM) and it goes into sleep mode, when I reopen the screen the screen backlight comes up momentarily, then goes black (screen image there, just no backlighting) nothing gets it to come out (reclose/open, clicking trackpad, any keys, etc.) except the F1 key. Pushing the F1 "wakes" the backlighting, then I just hit the F2 to brighten it back up, I don't have any further issues until I close it again. Granted not that big of a deal given all the issues everyone else is having with this, but still a nusance I would like to fix. Don't know if this will work for you, but it's been working for me.

I've read that reseting the power controls could resolve this bug, but not sure how to perform the reset.

Solved.
