N95 backlight issue! HELP!

Okay well i just bought my n95 like a month ago and one day i look at my phone the backlight just pretty much gone. So is there anything i can do to get it back. Or do i need to send it back to Nokia and get it replace?

Heh,2 men and a horse walk into a taco stand...
When I boot, the backlight does not light up and cannot be changed up/down.
but when I come out of sleep the backlight kicks in and works normaly.
My workaround so far is just to quickly sleep each time I boot.
But I've noticed laitly when I launch certain things (like certain games) the backlight kicks back off.

N95 Keypad Issues - Help

I have just returned from my first holiday in 6 years, and very nice it was too. I used my N95 as the camera as there seemed no point carrying a seperate one when the camera is such a decent one anyway.
The phone worked after our return and well for our first day back, yesterday. I got up this morning and my phone is completely none-functional!
The only button which works is the power switch, the media buttons do nothing (except rotate the screen when exposed) the number keys do nothing, and the keys under the screen do nothing. I have tried taking the battery out, I have left it without battery for 15+ minutes, and I then cannot reset the clock.
I guess the next step is to take it for repair, but that means everything will be deleted, this is not good as all my holiday photos are on it!!
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Your holiday photo's should be safe on the phones memory card. You can test this by using it in a card reader on a PC.
Your phone is behaving like it's been exposed to moisture which has caused internal damage. Obviously I can't say that for definite.
What you need to do is take it to a nokia care point. If moisture is the cause it won't be covered by warranty. I hope it just turns out to be a simple hardware failure instead so that you may be covered.

My MacBook Pro 2011 model has a backlight issue- pls someone help

I have a early 2011 MacBook pro that has a backlight issue, im able to connect it to an external monitor just fine.
Brought it to a repair shop and they swapped the screen including the lvd cable but the problem still exist.
Have already spend a lot of money to no avail. What could be the issue? :(
Apple said it only needs a new screen which doesn't seem to be true.

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1713
It is under warranty https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
If it is more than one computer and both chargers are not working I suspect you need to replace.
If it was just one Mac I might suggest reset SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964

Possible iBook G4 Backlight issue??

Hello All - Hope everyone had a great Holiday.
Here is my issue, I hope someone can give me some advice.
I am working with an iBook G4 1.07Ghz Model Number - UV4280JMR73 (if that helps?)
The computer really works like a champ most of the time. After running the computer for a short period of time (5-10mins) if you move the screen to re adjust the angle or just move the computer and the screen jiggles the screen goes black. If you look close in the right light you can still see the desktop and everything works fine, which I am assuming is a backlight issue. However, if you close the lid and let the comp go to sleep for 30secs - 1 min and than open it back up it boots right back up and the screen comes on just as bright as it should be and again if you jiggle the screen it goes dark again.
At first I was thinking that the CCFLs were bad but after researching a bit it seems that those guys either go out and never come back on, or work fine. I have thought about a loose connection but if that was the case you would assume that if you kept jiggling the screen than it would come back on, right??? Also it wouldnt make since because it all works like normal once you close the lid for a min or so.
Any thoughts???? I am pretty technically inclined and am not afraid to tear this bad boy apart. I work on BMWs for a living...
Let me know what your thoughts are and any possible fixs and also if you know of a good place to buy parts if I need them and also if there is a walk through on the web that you know of.
Thanks so much to all of you that read and I wish the best to you in the new year.
Thanks, Jack.

jjp,
Well like S.U. says, it sounds like the inverter cable. Typically this breaks near the hinge point. I've repaired two like that. I found the open by continuity testing from the inverter board to the plug on the logic board. Once I found the open cable I could make it come back by pushing it together at the break point. I then opened it up, re soldered it and used shrink tubing to re insulate the break point. I then reinstalled the coil flex or silver sleeve and put it back together.
The danger in having an open there is that it can short out and kill the inverter driver (for want of a better word). If you're lucky it will just take out the fuse in that area. I repaired one like that and had no idea what that fuse was (read open) but compared it to another one that wasn't burnt and bridged it with a .125 (I think) fuse filament.
BTW if you need good take apart info email me.

Tecra A2 backlight issue - image is very faint

Hi
I have a Tecra A2 with a backlight problem.
The LCD is displaying correctly, but without any backlight the image is very faint.
When the laptop is booted the display lights up perfectly for about 3 seconds before turning off. The laptop successsfully boots and can be used with an external monitor. If I now close the lid the laptop backlight lights up again for a few seconds before going off again. I have tried a new backlight inverter which had no effect. The lid closed sensor is the magnetic type (presumably a reed relay) and measures 100Kohms when open? and 0 ohms when closed.
Could this 100K be the problem?
Has anyone experienced any of these symptons or does anyone have any backlight inverter data, i'm wondering if I have a second faulty inverter.
Could this be a faulty FL backlight issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You are right Philip.
For me it looks like the faulty FL-inverter too
You said that the display on the external monitor looks fine. So we can eliminate a GPU fault.
I think your should contact the ASP in your country. The technician should check the faulty part (probably FL inverter) and should replace it with a new, compatible one.
>i'm wondering if I have a second faulty inverter
I see you have already replaced the one FL inverter and the issue still appears hmm to be honest I believe you have used a wrong one but who knows nothing is impossible.
So ask the ASP technician for the further handling
Best regards and good luck

Ipod Touch 2g Backlight Issue

Hello all. I have a Ipod Touch 2g with a backlight issue. The screen is readable and all functions except the backlight work fine, but no backlight. No water damage or recent drops. I did a restore and the backlight started working again, but after my next sync and reboot the backlight stopped working again. To me this does not seem like a hardware problem. Are there any known issues with the newest version of the OS that might have caused this? Any ideas on a fix?

Interestingly, I just tried to update my applications through the App store on my ipod. The connection failed and suddenly the backlight came back on. Nothing new happened. I didn't move it, tap it, or anything else. This is very odd.

The least problems you'll have with miniDV cameras. About any miniDV camera will connect to a Mac via Firewire. HDD cameras are an open invitation to trouble, especially as you speak of older computers.
There are well-featured models out there now for 2-300 bucks. But watch out for cameras that connect to the computer via a dock. I had two Sony with these @#$% docking stations .... both docks broke and rendered the cameras useless for capturing. replacing the dock was nearly the price of a new cam.

Nokia N95 backlight problem...

My Nokia N95 backlight has stopped working recently for no reason at all. The phone turned itself off and when i tried to turn back on i had to remove the battery to do so. ever since then the backlight has not worked. Has anybody had this happen to them or know of a way to fix it..?? I have already tried re formatting and that didn't work etc.

Take it to a nokia care point because it has suffered a hardware failure. Failures like this usually happen after the phone has been dropped or bumped hard but it can just happen.

Hello.I wanted to upgrade my iPad 1 to iOS 5.1 Over the Air.I was running iOS 5.0.1.It said it had an error connecting to server.It is already 5 hours i cant install this update.I also have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 with the same issues.Help please!

You're probably running into the servers simply being swamped. Thousands of people are all going for the software update at the same time. Give it a try again and if that doesn't work, then try plugging it into your computer and trying it that way.
I didn't get a notion of the size, it doesn't seem to be as big as the 700 meg 5.0 update, but it did take me 20+ minutes to download via cable internet so it's a large file. That in and of itself takes a while.
If you're trying to download it directly to your iPhone, you'll need to be on wifi since I'm sure it's well over the 20 meg file size limit for 3G.

Very strange backlight issue

I have a 600mhz (16 VRAM) iBook that I'm trying to fix for a friend. It has a strange backlight issue. Everytime the ibook is started, it chimes, and shows the screen (bright and perfect), but as soon as 9.2 starts to load, the backlight goes out. It is not intermittent, it happens at the exact same time every time I start it up (right when the progress bar starts to move). I reset the PRAM, which caused the computer to now look for a startup device, so all the extra time it takes search, the backlight is fine. Here's what I've tried.
In firewire mode, the backlight never comes on
With a hardware test disc, the backlight never comes on
Reset the PRAM (several times)
Reset the PMU (several times)
Any ideas out there?

As an update, I tried a Mac OS 10.4 startup disc which seemed to work, and the backlight came on with no problems. The machine did freeze on the welcome screen right after I selected english as the language of choice. So I tried a 10.3 disc which yeilds a kernal panic of "Unable to find driver for this platform: "PowerBook 4,3". After this, I tried a 9.2.2 disc which boots (takes 20 mins to boot) and when I try to load the installer I receive a "this program can not run on this machine", and it closes. This really seems like a strange problem. Any ideas?

Backlight issues

Hi all,
I've had my MacBook since August 2006, and I know there's been screen flickering issues where the brightness of the screen goes up and down w/o F1 or F2 being touched. That happened to me every once and awhile and I've been dealing b/c I have no Apple Care.
Problem is that my backlight has started cutting out completely for no reason. I can see the outline of the display, but the light isn't on so it's impossible for me to do anything. I have to move the screen up and down, press on the right corner of the screen way too hard, or play with the F1 and F2 buttons for a few minutes and, usually, the light will pop back on. A few times it hasn't though and I've had to do a restart. I've noticed since this problem started a few weeks ago that the 'lighter flickering' has stopped completely.
I want to call Apple about it, but I don't know if they'd help me out or not since I have no Apple Care. I'm also an English major in college right now during finals week, so I'm having to backup all my manuscript revisions onto a jump drive every 5 min just in case my screen gives out for good.
Anyone else have experience w/ this problem? Should I call the help center? They've always been really good to me before, but this is a problem I can't recreate on command (extremely random) and I assume they could tell me I'd damaged it myself somehow (I haven't.)
Thanks for any help,
Kristen

It's unfortunate you don't have Apple Care because your MB is out of warranty now. Even though you didn't cause the failure, Apple is not obligated to replace your inverter board under terms of the warranty. They might since, as you say, they have been really good to you in the past, but no guarantees.
By the way, you won't completely lose data over this. Even if the screen never lights up again, the data is fine and can be retreived either by attaching an external display or by putting the Mac in Firewire target mode and getting the data off onto another Mac. Good luck.

Has ANYONE resolved the keyboard backlight issue with the 1.67 15" PB?

Here is the issue. I got a used PB G4 1.67 G4 off of Craigslist on Thursday night. When I picked it up the owner had done a re-install of the OS and it booted to the intro movie. While standing in the dark parking lot the backlight on the keyboard WAS working. I shut the machine off and got into the car to fill out the registration information and I noticed the backlight was NOT on. I pressed the buttons and nothing. I checked the keyboard and mouse system preference and the ambient lighting on/off was NOT there!
Does anyone have a solution to this problem or should I just forget about this feature?
Thank you all for your help.
Blake

I thank you for the response. In your case was the control for the lighting missing from the keyboard system prefs? That is what kills me, it worked one minute and not the next and I can't even see the controls for it.
Thanks again,
blake

Keypad Backlighting Issue - BB Pearl 3G

Just recently I bought BB Pearl 3G and after 2 days of using it I'd encountered not so nice thing. I got surprised when for no reason the keypad backlight of my phone was not working. I tried to look for the screen/keypad option but found nothing with regards to this issue. I took out the battery of my phone and waited for 5 minutes to get it back to its working condition. I just want to ask, why does it happened? How to avoid it next time

Sorry, we communicate here in the Forums, in this thread you've started, not via email.
Do this, take your device in a dark or dimly lit room and cover the top right hand corner LED area with the palm of your hand.
Do you see the keyboard backlight brighten?

Palm 680 Issues HELP!

My phone powers on normally everything works great! once the backlight times out I cannot wake the phone back up! None of the keys work after the initial screen timeout! I can recieve calls fine, but I cannot make any phone calls due to not being able to use any of the functions or buttons!
I tried to reset the phone but it just wont reset!! HELP ME PLEASE!
Post relates to: Treo 680 (AT&T)

Try a 10 second soft reset by taking out the battery for at least 10 seconds. This allows the device to power off completely, like a shutdown on a PC.
If that reset doesn't fix the issue you will need to try a hard reset that will put the Treo back to the factory condition. The hard reset will erase all data on the Treo.
Click on the following link to the kb.palm.com webpage for the article regarding reset procedures.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887
Are you sync'ing the device to the same username in Palm Desktop as an older device?
If you are, this will cause problems on the new device. When you sync the device, it saves the device settings, 3rd party apps, preferences, etc. in the backup folder in the username folder on the PC. When you sync the new device it copies the contents of the backup folder for the old device to the new device. This will cause corruption in the settings for the new device thus causing erratic behavior of the new device.
You may need to hard reset your device and rename your backup folder. Go to http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887 and follow the directions to do a hard reset. Next before you hotsync your data back over you will need to rename your backup folder, to do that go here;
XP
C:\program files\palm or palm one\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Vista
Start-->documents\Palm OS Desktop\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Then hotsync to your current hotsync name and all your contacts, calendar,
tasks, and memos will come back over.
Show file extensions for XP or Vista
XP
If you can not view file extensions on your PC I would like you to open a
folder go to Tools-->Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.
Vista
Open control Panel go to Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.
http://www.palm.com/us/support/treo/treo680att/
There are links on the page to the user guide, troubleshooting, how to's, downloads, etc.
