The LCD backlight on son's Wallstreet running 10.2.8 sometimes refuses to illuminate, in spite of attempts to adjust it up using the brightness button above the keyboard.
I don't know if it applies but I ran into something similar. I have a Wallstreet running 10.2.6.
In my case, following a crash the backlighting would initially light up during boot but would later black out. Once the system booted I could hit the brightness button and it would light up. But if I put it to sleep and then woke it up the screen would not light up and there was no response from the brightness button. The solution I found was to restart in OS 9.2.2 then put it to sleep and wake it back up again. After that I could reboot into OS X and all would be well.
It sounds like the same bug. To verify the hardware worked, I installed OS-9 on the machine. After that the brightness worked for a while.
