Issue description

I was playing with the settings and put brightness at 10. I was left unable to see anything and was forced to reflash. Same result as high as 40. Maybe I could have plugged in USB and hunted down the setting on the filesystem but I wasn't that far along with the new version. There should be some kind of confirmation dialog like "Can you still see the screen?" with No being the default so that it reverts back on button press.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Turn on
  2. Navigate to settings
  3. Set backlight to 10
  4. Press start to save settings

What device are you using?

PocketGO v1

This is not the case with the reference V90. At 10% backlight everything is visible more than perfectly.
Apparently the PocketGO v1s have some kind of potatoes instead of screens...
For such cases, it might not hurt to have additional confirmation of the brightness level setting.
Something like a reverse timer for 10-15 seconds, which would cancel/reverse the brightness change if it did not receive additional confirmation. But only for certain models or as a separate setting. So as not to bug other users.
