Lumia 2520 Windows key doesnt light up

HI,
just received my Lumia 2520 from At&t yesterday and having a "little" but annoying issue with this otherwise great device:
The Windows key on the bezel does not light up. It is "ok" when it is bright and etc. but when it is dark around me, it would be most helpful to see where the key is at.
Is there any way to turn it off and on?
Thank you for any help.
ps: my 920 buttons light up perfectly.
Solved!

There isn't a light under that button so there is no way to make it light up. It doesn't light up on many other windows tablets either, guessing that's because of it being the only front button and being in an easy to remember location.

  • Lumia 2520 Windows RT 8.1 Tablet unable to activat...

    About a week or so ago, my Nokia Lumia 2520 tablet with Power Keyboard (purchased through Telstra in Australia) wouldn't start and took me to the Windows RT 8.1 Recovery options. After unsuccessfully trying to use the recovery options to do a refresh, I decided to do a full Reset as all my data was either stored on a MicroSD card or in OneDrive.
    Unfortunately, the device has not worked since. The cause of the problem is that when I reset the device (effectively doing a reset to factory default) and then going through the initial set up of Windows RT 8.1, I am advised that I need to activate the device, but the device failes activation and I am getting an error, Error code: 0xc004f012 the licensing software service reported that the call has failed because the value for the input was not found.
    I am unable to use Microsoft Office as I am advised it isn't licensed and about 75% of Windows updates fail. I have now reset the device a few times, but I am getting nowwhere.
    I rang and spoke to Nokia Australia Support today on 1300 366 733 and they advised me to search and run a command "slui 4", which started a wizard to perform a phone activation, but after selecting Australia as the country, the next windows, which is meant to provide the number to call and provide the installation ID from which I am meant to get an confirmation ID to enter. Unfortunately, the details of the telephone number and installation ID are never displayed, with the circling little dots going for ever!!
    In essence, the Windows Activation process is looking for a Windows Product Key, which is not provided.  Consequently, I am being asked for a Product key for Windows RT 8.1 even though you don't get one.
    Although I will try with Nokia Support again tomorrow, I am starting to getting desperate! Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • Lumia 1020 Windows Key bug after Denim Update

    Hey guys,
    I recently updated my WP 8.1 OS to Lumia Denim. Looks like there is a serious bug in the update. Sometimes when an application is open like messages, whatsapp, cortana search and then when you click on windows button, instead of going to home screen the application is refreshing. Its really annoying. Please let me know how to fix this issue.

    My Macbook Pro has a black screen when running in Bootcamp Windows 7. Since I updated the mac side my windows side now starts up with completely black screen - no prompt, nothing, Cap keys still light up as does mouse and DVD drive seems to run.
    Will not show up in safe mode, will not show when started from Windows 7 DVD.
    I suspect the Mac update wiped out my PC video drivers but can not think of a way to re-install?
    Can see the PC volume from Mac side with files.

    Specifically, the posts by Dunsany and valkyr did the trick.  I booted in safe mode, uninstalled and deleted the Nvidia driver, disabled automatic driver installation, and restarted normally.  I then manually downloaded and installed the previous Nvidia driver for my graphics card (which at the time of this writing was 335.23, rather than the latest which was 337.88), and everything is now bueno!
    Two hiccoughs along the way: First, when I tried to uninstall the Nvidia driver the first time, when I restarted I got the login screen (which was a good sign), but it quickly went black again.  I powered down, restarted in safe mode again, and repeated the uninstallation process, and it worked the second time.  Second, when I started the manual install of the 335.23 driver, the computer played a sound similar to the one for disconnecting a USB device, and the screen went black.  I'd seen a lot about trying to increase the brightness (though it hadn't worked up to this point; but if you haven't tried it yet, might as well); I tried it, and it worked! So far I'm back up and running. [/fingers crossed]
    Hope this helps someone else!

  • Nokia lumia 2520 two observed bugs

    Yesterday, i bought a nokia lumia 2520 (UK) and till now i observed two bugs:
    1. Reader App froze the screen. I was reading a pdf and the screen froze, the solution was to hold the power button to hard reboot the device.
    2. Infinite restarting. i shutted down the table with 3% of battery. After that i tried to turn on the device and a infinite loop of restarts was started, and it continued even after "Automatic Repair". In order to solve the problem, i plugged the power adapter.
    Probably these failures caused because of the Windows RT OS, and i would like to inform nokia about them because the tablet (hardware+nokia apps) is awesome.

    I'm having a similar issue here in the US. I bought my Nokia Lumia 2520 tablet 5 days ago. It has crashed on me everyday and generally have been able to get it to reboot. I tried a hard reset and yesterday tried to do a "refresh" of Windows RT. It worked fine after everything and so I used it last night and put it away without charging it because wanted to see if the battery would last with it off overnight. I woke up this morning (9 hours later) and the camera light keeps blinking and it won't boot. I left it to charge for two hours and it still has the blinking camera light and even though the Windows button vibrates, there is nothing on the screen. I have tried to power off and on, I have tried to hold down power and volume down for 70 seconds (both numerous times now) with no luck. It seems to have bricked, minus the blinking light and vibrating windows key. Anyone else have any suggestions? I really would hate to return it cause last time had a problem AT&T tried to screw me over with sending a used device instead of the new one I paid for.

  • Nokia Lumia 2520 - stuck in updating mode.

    I have a new Lumia 2520, which I began to commission today.  I got it to look for updates, and it found a large number to download and install including one for the firmware.  It appeared to download them, but then installation of all of them repeatedly failed, with the error message saying that an update was already in progress.  I left it for four hours, still the same.  Then from experience in commissioning Windows PCs I set it to restart and during the closedown sequence it came up with a blue screen and a message "Keep your PC on until this is done.  Installing update 1 of 5".
    Nine hours later the same message is displayed.  The tablet is plugged into the charger, and is sitting adjacent to the wifi router: it has power and connectivity.  Online information suggests that no update to this device should take more than 25-30 minutes.  It just seems stuck: won't switch on, won't switch off.  
    What's wrong, and what can I do about it?
    Thank you.

    Hi, auchindrain. How's your tablet now? If you're still having the same issue, best to try the troubleshooting steps shown at this link: Lumia 2520 - Need help in fixing a problem?. Note that this link is intended for a specific region; search the same FAQ in the local MS Mobile support page: MS Mobile - Change locale.

  • Nokia Lumia 2520 Shut off after connected to keybo...

    Hello all, 
    I have a Lumia 2520 tablet which I've had for about 4 months now.  I initially purchased one of the power keyboards with my tablet which worked great at first.  Then the tablet stopped responding to tkeyboard.  I sent in the tablet for repairs and it was returned with a status "Not broken" or something like that.  The tablet still wouldn't respond to the keyboard, though.  thinking that the problem was most likely teh keyboard, I purchased another keyboard. (I really wanted the red one anyway).
    At first, the tablet and keyboard was working just fine.  But two weeks later, the tablet started shutting off when connected to keyboard.  So here's the basic scenario.  If my tablet is docked in the keyboard, I won't turn on.  I've attempted to hold the power button down forcing a full shutdown, and then turn it on, but that doesn't work either.  If I remove the tablet from the keyboard, it still doesn't turn on.  But if I hold down the power button for approx 15 seconds, and then try to turn it on, it comes on without any problems.  Now, if I re-dock the tablet with the keyboard, it immediately shutdown.  As if it's going to sleep.  But once again, will not turn back on unless I repeat the remove and holding down the power button. 
    Is this a problem with the tablet, or the keyboard.  
    Please help.   
    thanks!!

    Yardi Systems supporter of Microsoft and creates program to run on IE. One such program is called Payscan. It allows users to scan Invoices and post into the system. After posting the image of such invoices are abailable for view, for that Yardi prompts to install GPI to view images. However Microsoft does not allow to run such programs in my Windows RT tablet. Is there a work around? The image could be exported as PDF and opened using Adobe, which is a waste of time and space constraints

  • Hardbuttons on Lumia 2520 tablet have stopped work...

    Owned my tablet for about a week with absolutely no problems but then after trying to update software the update failed and so the tablet went to revert changes. Everything was fine until in the evening when I decided to install the update again and it did so successfully, however, after the update my lock, volume, and Windows buttons have stopped working.
    The Windows button still vibrates but does nothing else. The lock button when held down long enough still restarts the tablet further leading me to believe this is a software fault not a hardware one.
    Since the problem has arisen I have searched the internet for help but to no avail. I have of course tried numerous soft resets and even a complete hard reset. The problem has not gone away.
    On some other websites other users have had this exact problem too.
    This is just such a shame. Otherwise it is a great product and was really enjoying owning it but like so many of my Nokia things recently something catastrophic goes wrong!
    This has effectively made the Lumia 2520 completely unusable as a tablet.

  • Windows Key Arrow Keys Shortcut?

    Hello!
    Installed Windows 10 a few days ago and the Win+Arrow shortcut was working but has stopped working. Both the Windows key and the arrow keys function independently and my Ease of Access Mouse settings are proper in terms of Aero Snapping windows and checkboxes
    and stuff. Also I insured that Turn off Windows+x HotKeys in the Local Policy Editor wasn't enabled. I'm not sure if I'm just reporting this or asking for a solution or what, but I mean it'd be cool if I could arrange windows again. If anyone needs any
    other information just ask.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Snapping Windows with Win + Arrow keys worked on my test machines. Some folks have shared that it won’t work in the Windows 10 Technical Preview 9860 version. Even after a restart, it would came back and won’t work again after a while.
    Another  thing is please make sure we have installed the additional updates after we update to Windows 10 Technical Preview 9860.
    KB3010668 and KB3008956. Go to PC settings ->Update and Recovery -> Windows update, click check for updates and then install if available.
    For the Windows keyboard shortcut not working properly, we have another thread here:
    snap assist doesnt work on build 9860
    By now there seems no workaround to resolve this issue. Please wait for the future builds.
    Best regards

  • Nokia Lumia 2520 Charger

    I bought a Nokia Lumia 2520 Tablet 
    One charger comes in the box. The tablet doesnt charge through usb port (data only).
    There appears to be no chargers on sale (anywhere!) for this tablet. 
    What happens if: 
    The one I have breaks, is faulty, is lost, left at a hotel etc etc etc. 
    I want to charge the tablet in my car
    Where can I get another charger from??? The current situation leaves me in a very precarious situation. If i was to lose my charger - my tablet would be unusable as I would never be able to charge it again - £400 down the drain. 
    Can someone please tell me where I can get a charger from? 

    No guarantees, but found this at Amazon. Right specs, looks like the right connector.  2520 Charger
    Another one  Just chatted with the MS Store and they suggested calling them at 800-642-7676 and see if they can find one. Good luck.  Looks like Verizon and AT&T bailed on them. Might try calling their support, especially if you bought from one of them.
    BTW, be careful. There are tons of chargers that claim to be Lumi 2520 cell phone chargers, etc, that clearly are 5v, i.e. USB, chargers. The 2520 does NOT charge off USB, as you probably know. The two I linked are the proper voltage at least, 20v.
    And there is a thread here that says the Samsung series 7 slate charger works. It is 19v, but that could actually work. If it were me, I think I'd risk the Samsung. Got an actual confirmation from a real guy.

  • Nokia Lumia 2520

    I have the Lumia 2520 keyboard cover.  I have had to replace it within one week of purchase.  The reason for this was that some of the keys did not work.  Now the same issue is happening to the replacement.  More and more letters are not working on the keyboard.  I am so tired of it I don't feel like trying to get a replacement.  Nokia did a poor job on the keyboard for the Lumia 2520. 

    hi mate sorry to hear of your experience. in this case you will need to persist with your retailer/Nokia Care until the issue is resolved to your satisfaction

  • Lumia 2520 Screen Jumping Problem

    Hi.
    My Lumia 2520 (Bought in Jan 2014) keeps jumping back to the start screen even if I don't press the windows button. Problem started a few months ago and it is getting worse and worse. Sometimes it works without problems but every now and then it jumps back to start screen for several times (for example 20 times). It may jump back i.e. from IE, E-mail or Calendar. For example, during writing this message my device has jumped back to start screen (ans sometimes back to IE) for five times... When 'the jumping mode' is on moving the device seems to make the problem even worse. My device is up-to-date. Hardware problem / repair needed?
    Kind Regards, JR

  • N95 media Keys not lighting up after v2 update

    Hi Folks
    i just updated my phone last night to the latest firmware and what made me pleased the most was it sorted out the problems between the phone and my intergrated Bluetooth kit in my 2007 Ford Focus, nokia tried to blame ford even though its their module in the car!
    anyway i have noticed that after this update when you move the slider to expose the media keys and turn the phone into a media player it doesnt automatically bring up the multimedia menu, great i thought! as the phone is in my pocket a lot it goes off whenever it gets slid down now it wont happen.
    more worringley is that the media keys dont light up anymore! not when you move the slider or when you press them or open any program that uses them, its pretty annoying actually and they were working before the update, anyone had similar problems?

    regarding the 8GB version, mine is silver but came with a 8GB memory card from o2 UK would that not make it the 8GB version?
    No,i have exact same phone as you,N95-1 with 8gb memcard but the firmware is way behind.N95 8GB has V20.0.015 as standard fw
    for lighta isue,check in tools,settings,general,personalisation,,display,and look where theslider is for the light sensor,,if its low tweak it up a bit...keypad lights only work when light sensor detects a little light,so at midday,lights wont light up anyway,dont need to..energy saving i guess...check these and get back to me m8
    N91
    N95-1
    RM-159
    12.0.013
    8Gb microSd card
