inspiron 1720 - dim display

Cat sat on keyboard and when I returned to the laptop, the display was very dim.  Full brightness in windows settings and Fn+Up Arrow does not help.  Bios up to date along with all drivers.  I am puzzled!  Until last night, all was well.  OS is up to date Windows 7.

Most computer shops will have one and will likely let you use it to test the system - alternatively, borrow one at work, from a friend, etc.
