Screen Brightness keeps automatically adjusting to 100%

I have a late 2011 Mac book Pro, which I have kept in mint condition. Recently, my brightness has kept adjusting itself to full 100% brightness on the display, and keeps adjusting itself every few minutes even if it's still at 100% brightness. I have tried un-checking the automatically adjust brightness option and I still haven't been able to stop this from happening. Please help!!!!

The display backlight doesn't respond correctly to ambient light changes on Mac computers that have this feature.
