Possibly a silly question but have you tried the brightness function 
keys. I've not seen a laptop yet that doesn't have these and they all 
seem to override the OS. I'm not sure where the keys are on a DELL but 
Fn + [brighntess logo]. (Probably Fn is next to left CTRL and the 
brightness icon is probably in blue on the F-keys.
