The backlight doesnt work on the main display - everything else does and the battery charges

Hi

Thank you for your query

Please try the following

1) Press the fn key + up arrow key

The above key combination increases the brightness on the screen

If this fails you have a faulty inverter in your laptop, this is relativley cheap to repair

If option1 doesnt work, please book the laptop into a reputable PC shop

If this has been useful please leave postive feedback/vote/testimonial - Thank You Again

Your have a "Display" button that toggles thru different display modes .. one of the modes turns off the LCD backlight .. that useful if you are in bright light and dont need the backlight .. you have a very nice "transflective" display that works great in bright light without the backlight ... you can get more shots with the backlight turned off on each battery charge .(about 25% more) .

so each time you operate the display mode button you will get a different display .. one shows a hystogram .. one turns off the backlight and one puts the camera in a normal mode ..

if everything is working right then even with the backlight turned off you should be able to go outside or any brightly lighted area and see the picture on the screen ..

you LCD is Broken...Look for an iPod Repair in your area and have the LCD replaced.
it's a classic symptom of a damaged LCD..I see it all the time.

I have a similar problem. My MV650i works from the mains power but not from the battery even though I have tried new battery packs.

there will be power plan settings in the control panel... you'll have to modify it to have bright backlight even while working with battery...

Use your main board, swap another phone step by step find down problem.could be keypad or display faulty or cable conector,but my expet display faulty.

iPod has backlighting, so you can see the display in low light.

You can configure iPod so the backlight turns on for a set amount of time when you press a button or move the scroll wheel.
To access the backlight settings:

1. Select Settings > Backlight Timer.
2. Select a setting from the menu. Options include having the backlight timer:
   • Off
   • Turn off after a period of time between 2 and 20 seconds
   • Always on

A backlight on/off switch can be added to the Main menu by selecting:
Settings > Main Menu > Backlight

i have the same problem, i thought it completely blacked out, but i realized it was just the main backlight. i can see it if i hold a flashlight to it, but i tried everything to fix it, and ive had no luck.
