                        Method (_BCM, 1, NotSerialized)
                        {
                            If (LGreaterEqual (OSYS, 0x07D6))
                            {
                                Store (Arg0, BRTL)
                                SECS (0xA6)
                            }
                        }

        Method (SECS, 1, Serialized)
        {
            Acquire (MSEC, 0xFFFF)
            Store (Arg0, SECI)
            Store (Zero, TRPS)
            Release (MSEC)
        }

As the BIOS changes the backlight in SMM, I don't think there is anything we
can do if it doesn't work.

This is a hint.
I have a HP laptop with ambient light sensor. And I can not change the
backlight manually in Windows, unless I disable the ambient light sensor.

So can you please disable it and try again? (BTW, there is a hotkey to
enable/disable the ALS on my laptop)
