For me, this is located in /sys/class/backlight/beagleboard

and bl_power is located in /sys/class/backlight/beagleboard

I did try

echo 1 > bl_power

but there was no effect. GPIO 96 from the OMAP3503 is physically connected to LCD LED backlight enable, which I think is what would be used to turn the backlight on/off. 

Where can I specify the mapping of GPIO 96 to the bl_power file, so that the LCD backlight can be switched off?
