Check here. Solved my issue for me: Unable to change Brightness Ubuntu 13.04 Toshiba Satellite A105.
I ran xrandr -q | grep " connected"
and then xrandr --output LVDS1 --brightness [VALUE]
and it changed the brightness, even when I had the same issue as you. This is a relatively short-term fix, as it doesn't stick around after a reboot, but it changes the brightness if you need it, say late at night.
