Something supposed to be connected to the pot is not connected anymore?
I am guessing
a) the connection to the wiper is broken somewhere, or the circuitry
connected to it is broken, or
b) the ground end of the pot has a broken connection to ground

For a workaround:
This way You get a fixed brightness and somewhat working computer.
Now You can wait for a replacement pot and play with the computer.
So turns out
the pot itself is good after further testing. Of course now the
question is why won't the brightness adjust on the machine?
