It might, but we have to be careful.

So, first question: you do know that the X40 has two brightness ramps, one
which is active while on AC, and the other, much darker, which becomes
active while on battery, right?   Are you sure what you were looking at was
a third brightness ramp, even darker than the usual "darker" ramp?

Did the system let you go back to that way-too-dark level by pressing the
less-bright button?
