  3. In my case I have to change the line
    echo 500 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
    into
    echo 4 > /sys/class/backlight/toshiba/brightness
    due to hardware specification. Now it works! Thank you very muck!

  4. Just a piece of advice prior to doing the procedure. Firstly you need to know what folder is inside /sys/class/backlight. Hence type:

    ls /sys/class/backlight ----> This will give you the files inside. For me it was: acpi_video0. So, I complete answer for this one would be:
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness --> shows current brightness level, say it returns 6
    gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local --> opens the file to be edited
    echo 6 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness --> sets the desired level of brightness

    ~~~~~ Solving backlight problem after suspend ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    sudo gedit /etc/pm/sleep.d/00-displayfix

    Type this in the file that opens:

    #!/bin/sh
    case "$1" in
    thaw|resume)
    echo 6 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
    ;;
    *)
    ;;
    esac
    exit $?

    Then in the terminal type:

    sudo chmod a+x /etc/pm/sleep.d/00-displayfix
