My t722i display has no back light

It's November 4th. I bought my LG Chocolate VX8500 phone on October 22 and the backlight has not been working, so I cannot see the screen! When I turn it on, it works until the screen turns off from inactivity. When I slide it open or unlock it, the screen comes back on but the backlight doesn't, so it's dark. I can just barely make out what's on it only if I squint and look really closely and only if I have the right amount of light. I have gone through the display settings and have tried it with the backlight set on "Always on" and with it set to go off after a certain number of seconds, but nothing makes a difference. The phone is two weeks old and it has not been damaged as far as I know of. It starting acting up basically the day after I bought it. I didn't even use it the day I got it because it had half a charge out of the box and I was waiting for the battery to run down completely before I charged it so I left it at home, where nothing could've possibly happened to it, so I cannot think of anything that I might've done to it to cause this. I signed up for the replacement program in case I lost it or it was damaged and not covered by the warranty, so I can get a new one if I need it, but I don't want to do that if there's a way I can get it to work without having to pay to ship it to the company for fixing and without having to buy any replacement parts or anything. The phone is not in my name, so I myself would not be able to get the replacement, and I don't want to bother the account holder with this if it is not neccessary. I'm grasping at straws here, because I think the only thing I can do is get a new one, but, before I do, is there anything that I can do to fix it? Thanks. It's November 4th.

Actactlly the same thing I did. No backlight, everything works fine. I use to give my phone to my 1 year old daughter who just loves to play with it. She keep putting it in the mouth, and I think my problem started due to this. Actactlly the same thing I did. No backlight, everything works fine.
