Displays backlight doesn't turn off completely!?
When I fade off the backlight of the display there is a spot in the center where i still can see what is displayed, the rest is dark. It seems also that this spot grew in the last time a bit.In the dark this spot is clearly more light than the rest of the display. its about the size of a golf ball.
Anyone who has the same "problem"? Any suggestions?
Thanks for the help!
Are you sure it is not just a result of room light bleeding in through the back of the case where the Apple logo is? With the MacBook turned off or sleeping, look at the dark screen while holding the MacBook up to a window. You will see that outside light from the window shines through the Apple logo and the screen. Could that be what you are seeing?

Screen not blanking properly (Backlight doesn't turn off)
I've been facing a weird problem lately. Whenever I leave my laptop on for a while when I'm logged on in X (I use KDE), the screen turns off after 10 minutes. All well and good. But whenever the laptop idle when logged on to a virtual console, after 15 minuites of idling, the display blanks, but the backlight stays on. The display becomes a wall of white. Is there any way to make the backlight switch off as well along with the screen blanking? I'm not using pm-utils or acpid to manage power on the virtual console right now. I'm using the logind.conf defaults.

Zen Xtra Backlight doesn't turn off, OS free
A problem started today where my 40gb Zen Xtra can no longer get past the EAX screen, and stays lit the entire time. I'm unable to turn it off except by removing the battery, and as soon as I put the battery back in, it automatically turns back on and freezes again. I reset, then I went to recovery mode and cleaned up the OS, but the same problem persists.
I notice that at some point from the time the player turns on to the time it freezes, I feel my hard dri've stop vibrating, and I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
Any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks!my zen xtra has done the same thing. it wont turn off. it wont go any further. i have gone to the rescue mode and tried all the options except reloading the os because i am afriad then i wont even have a os since it wont connect to my computer thru USB either. this is the second time i have had a major problem with it. the first time it completely failed on me and went to rescue mode everytime i turned it on. i eventually had to get a rma for it because the hard dri've had failed completely. will i need to do that again cause i have looked at every piece of advice available and nothing has helped.

Ipod backlight doesn't turn off even though i hold the menu for 3 seconds
PLEAASER HELP
You need to get to the iPod menu and locate the "Settings". Select this and find & select "Backlight Timer", scroll & select "2" or "5 seconds".
If you want to shut down the ipod, hold the play/ pause button until the ipod shuts off, (usually a few seconds). -

Doing those doesn't turn off your phone?
As stated hold down the top button only until you see the red slider to power off your phone.
If that doesn't work then take it to Apple and see what they say. -

Backlighting doesn't light off...
Hey everybody!!
I Have late 2008 Macbook Pro, and installed Windows with bootcamp. Everything goes fine under Leopard, but when I am on Vista, the backlighting doesn't light off, even when I turn the button on its minima. Does anyone have a clue about this?
Thanks for your answers.Until Apple releases a corrected driver, the best solution is to tilt your screen back slightly. The light sensor on the new MacBook Pros has been placed near the iSight camera. Pushing your screen back slightly will allow it to pick up more light, which will turn the keyboard lighting off.
The new MacBook Pros are overdue for a Boot Camp update. Stay tuned. -

Torch 9860 wont turn off completely
I bought a new Bb torch 9860 the day before. It was working perfectly fine untill this evening. It has now stopped turning off completely which it was doing very well before. Now it goes into a standby - like mode and quickly turns on when the red button is pressed. Earlier it used to take time in loading ( i know it's a time saver but what if i want to switch off my phone competely to give it some rest). I am unable to switch it off completely other than by the method of removing it's battery. Please, please help before i knock on the doors of the service centre, which i don't want to so soon otherwise my father would scold me for buying such a phone.
Also, it had stopped showing recent updates in bbm and was suddenly not playing any media file before this thing happened. These two have now been resolved but the turn off thing still wont work.Try a Battery pull please, with the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery 15 seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot device. This will clear all cache like rebooting a PC. Then try again and see if your problem persists.
When pressing and hoilding the outer right button, there should be two options turn off or full power off. choose full power off.

My iPhone 3G 16gb in white: I did all the things you mentioned, but it just keep looping the Apple logo and doesn't turn off until it is out of battery, and I am using a MacBook Pro 15inch Unibody if that does matter
If you are in Hong Kong, go to Digital Trade, 1/F, Sincere Plaza, Argyle Street, and it will cost you 120-150HKD, but before you go check that your power button and home button are working correctly, if not press as hard as you can, hope this will help.
