Not bad! :)
Does it work as intended?

It works perfectly. Thanks!

Just thought I'd drop by and mark this thread solved. The underlying issue has not been resolved but binding the script to a keyboard shortcut has been an absolute lifesaver. For the 1st time since purchasing this computer I can actually use it for tasks other than web surfing.

Huge thanks again to everyone who helped me with this.

Having this post here means others can find it as well:)
This problem seems to be caused by the manufacturer using the same name for different underlying hardware. And while a _subset_ of these cases are solved in the kernel, your particular subset is not. Pretty niche it seems, but make it known to the kernel devs so maybe they'll scratch your itch:)

Great the work-around made your life easier, glad I could help!

Niche? This problem seems to affect an awful lot of Dell laptops.
