I'll let you in on a little secret if you grab me a pint of Carl's ice cream!!

There is a registry setting that is persistent when trying to change how dim the backlight is when the device is locked>

HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel

It's set to "0" and, while you can change the value, once you reset it will revert back to 0. Delete the key, and after a reset it will recreate itself. Rename the key, it will re-create itself after a reset. Kinda like herpes I guess....you think you've gotten rid of it and ***POOF*** -- flare up!!! (of course, not speaking from personal knowledge, just what I remember from 6th grade sex-ed!)
