I still experience this bug using Ubuntu 15.04 on the same machine as before (ThinkPad T420s).

The screen appears to be completely black, looking at it closely however reveals that it is still on - without any backlight. Shutting and reopening the lid as well as shutting it down completely fixes the condition. This bug occurs reproducibly on a Thinkpad T420s. --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
