N97 screen not lighting up when message recieved, ...

i have a debranded n97 unlocked, latest firmware v20.0.019, and i don't know whats happened,
i basically have disabled the auto key lock, and i used a security lock after 1 minute, 20 seconds my light goes out,
anyway after a couple of minutes, if i get a text my breather light comes on only (which is normal) however the main backlight does not come on, it used to do this before, what is the problem? ive not got any apps on my phone either, i use the phone memory for everyhting, contacts, messages, etc. i have 2 email accounts + 400 messages in my main inbox,
i dont know why the main backlight wont light when i get a message, this is doign my head in as sometimes i keep my phone on my desk and the lighting up of the backlight makes me notice the phone has a message, i cant keep on going on like this, anyone know why this is or am i going to have to do a f/w wipe and update again?
can someone please test this ?? im using no third party sw either

Unfortunately, I'm facing the same problem with my N97 using firmware v20.0.19.
Any reset, hard or soft, did not solve the problem.. It's a new bug..

    The iphone software update server could not be contacted" - error message recieved when i try to update to 5.1.1 via itunes , what can i do ?

    Dear Lawrence Finch: 
    If you're still around I hope you see this message, as you're the FIRST person (after reading every link, thread, other sites, apple support articles, etc.) to mention JB may be causing this iTunes popup window to REPEATEDLY occur:
    "The iPhone software update server could not be contacted."
    No, I did not hack anything (are you kidding?  Grannies don't hack!), but I unknowingly bought a 3Gs iOS 3.1 from ebay that was not advertised as JB.  Since it is like brand new, I was going to keep it (because my old backup is iOS 3.1.2) & was trying to simply restore & update, which (I thought) would remove the JB (that's what everybody says at forums, etc).
    Instead, after "erasing all settings/content" (inside phone's Settings to get the prior person's name out of there), it is now stuck in White Apple Mode.
    Put it in DFU/Recovery Mode & connect to iTunes but that stupid above message keeps appearing & I have already read/tried EVERYTHING to get rid of that message, starting with: 
    1.  OLD phones (3Gs) with OLD iOS 3.1+ should work FINE with OLD Mac (iBook) with OLD OSX (Tiger 10.4.11) with OLD iTunes (9.2.1[5]).  So that can't be the problem.
    Here's all the other things apple & others say to check which I already checked:
    2.  USB ports are FINE, both work FINE, so that's not the problem.
    3.  No "extra USB devices" are connected, ONLY a mouse, & then the phone (yes, I tried it w/o the mouse connected but that didn't help).
    4.  No "usb hubs."
    5.  Latest iTunes for this OSX has already been DL'd (iTunes 9.2.1[5]).  If you know of a newer one for this OSX, please advise.
    6.  No antivirus software.
    7.  No security software.
    8.  No routers; only 1 comcast modem, period.  Wired Ethernet.
    9.  No wifi gadgets, no wifi at all.
    10.  No firewalls, except what is on iBook in the SHARING/System-Prefs. section.  It's turned OFF.
    11.  Did the hosts/terminal thing sudo nano whatever it was.  There were only 3 lines, NO gs.apple.com:
    xxxxx local host
    xxxxx broadcast host
    xxxx local host
    Oh, & btw, ATT officially unlocked this phone (after I filled out their online forms) but I can't finish the process via iTunes to get their Confirmation that "Device is Now Unlocked," so I can use T-Mo.
    So that's it.  If you have any other ideas of what to do from here, since from your comment, maybe it's the stupid JB on this phone that is causing the problem (???), please advise.
    Many thanks!

  • Screen not HDCP authorised error message

    I have a brand new Retina 5k iMac but I can't get any iTunes Video to play. I got a screen not HDCP authorised error message. How do i fix this? Apple care seems unable to help at this point
    Thanks
    Andrew

    I know you"ve restarted the Sky box, but something else to try is switching off the power to everything and then powering on again, sometimes this fixes HDCP handshake issues.

  • Ipod does not light up when connected to PC.

    My ipod used to light up when you touched the clickwheel when it is plugged into my computer, but ever since it showed a folder with a exclamation point (which i fixed) it does not light up when it is touched on the clickwheel anymore. I have restored it a coupple times and my ipod is up to date (1.1.1), does anyone know why it is doing this?

    Does anyone know?

    2. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)

  • Word options do not come up when messaging

    Word options do not come up when messaging

    Are you asking about the predictive text that appears above the keyboard? Is this turned on in Settings?
    Settings > General > Keyboard > Predictive Text > Turn this on
    If it is already on try quitting the Messages app and the reset your iPhone. Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. The press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

  • Slate 21 Pro screen back light on when sleeping

    Hi James_caI found out a couple of days ago that our service inventory had not yet been updated with the new Scalar FW revision.  I suspect that at some time you will experience the same issue...just a matter of when.  I'm sorry if I was not clear in my earlier instruction.  I should know more tomorrow about when our service inventory will be ready.  Rest assured that if you experience the issue again, the next replacement will be correct. Again, my apology for not communicating clearly.

    I have Slate 21 Pro. It is awsome all in one desktop with Android system. However it has the problem with sleep mode. Say I press power button to put it into sleep mode. The light on the power button change to red from white. But at some point, could be a couple of minutes or one hour, the screen back light will turn on though the screen is still dark (nothing displays). And at this time, the light on the power button will become white. And the worst thing is it'll never go back to sleep mode once it is in this state. I used a Electric Meter to test the power comsuption. At running time (when I use it and power button light in white), it consumes aournd 26 watts. At sleep time(power button light in red), it comsumes around 5 watts. At the state of dark screen with back light on ( the problemmatic state I describe above), it comsume almost the same as running time around 24 watts. This is too bad for an Android device. Though I'm able to pay the bill, but why should we waste energy and money? I report the problem. HP sent me another one. But the same problem there. I guess it is caused by the latest OS update. HP really should fix this. Does anyone has this issue? I'm so supprised that no one report this issue.

  • Phone screen not lighting up?

    I have an LG Extravert, prepaid. For the past month or two, I have had a lot of difficulty with the screen. It often does not light up. It lights up, but nothing displays, and it often shows up in negative, or backwards, or fades away. I have been trying for an hour and a half to get it to light up, without success. If I can't fix this or I have to get it repaired, I'll have to buy a whole new device, somebody help!

        Hello Doctorcatfish
    I'm so sorry your having screen issues with your Extravert. I'm not showing any known issues with the screen on that device. We may need to troubleshoot it further to get to the root cause. Please call our prepaid team at 888-294-6804. I'm sure they can get to the bottom of this.

  • Screen not turning off when closing the lid

    I have Windows 7 64-bit installed on my MacBook Air 13.3" as the only OS.
    Everything is working great with the bootcamp drivers except that when I close the lid the screen does not turn off. I don't want to turn off the notebook but only want the screen to turn off when the lid is down. I have looked a lot for a solution and am not able to find anything which can solve this problem.
    There is nothing in the power options that can be done. Bootcamp is supposed to recognize this by itself, but unfortunately it doesn't.
    Does anyone know a work around for this?
    Thank you

    That is correct. I have noticed the same thing. Windows 7 gives better battery life on MacBook Air then Mac OSX.
    I went to talk to a Genius about this, pretty useless, told me to wait for an update. It has been half a year but no update yet. This is the only problem with the Bootcamp drivers I have experienced. I have managed to live with it, but is still pretty annoying. I always once in a while think about finding a way to fix it, but there is nothing that can fix this problem. Unless someone at Apple sees and listens to what is going on in the online fourms and fix the problem.

  • T440s, X240 and W540 monitors do not light up when hot docking

    Please find original post here....
    http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T540p-T440p-UltraDock-external-display-issu...
    Using Pro Dock with firmware v2.17.000
    Using 90W power supplies so this is not a power supply issue
    Using updated video drivers so it's not the flickering or spontaneous monitor shutdown issue
    Using most up to date BIOS for each model.
    The issue, without linking to the other post is this....
    Hot dock the machine (lid closed but machine awake) into a Pro Dock with monitors connected and the monitors do not light up.
    I'm actually working with a Lenovo rep on this issue and he made me aware of a MS Hotfix (KB2923766) to resolve this issue.  I recommend the hotfix as it has made a big difference however I can still create a state of failure if I dock the machine in between it's sleep timeout and monitor shut off timeout in the power options.
    This is the test that makes it fail in more detail.....
    Set your sleep timer to something like 60 minutes and then set your turn
    off display timer to 30 minutes. Close lid should be set to do nothing.
    Then close the lid and wait for more than 30 but less than 60 minutes.
    Dock the laptop with lid closed and see what happens
    In my test the monitors do not light up.
    Not sure right now of the model # for the W540...
    T440s M/N:  20ARS1R703
    X240 M/N:  20AMS31G03

    Thanks for the heads up, but that does not sound like my issue as it seems to apply to the vga port built in to the laptop.  I do not use VGA on the dock either.  I'm going to pass on applying that now given the warnings present in the Readme and the fact that we are about to start a long holiday weekend.
    Oddly, the problem seems to be somewhat improving on its own and today I am not running into it as much, although I had the same issue when I first woke the computer up this morning.

  • Satellite L650-12Z: Led does not light up when connected to power source

    My L650 does not show the white light anymore when the cable is plugged in.
    The connectors are clean, and the adapter is working.
    The laptop does still run on the battery ( when there was still power in it).
    Also without the battery, there is no white light indicating that the laptop is connected to the DC.
    Does anyone know what the problem could be and how to solve it?

    Thanks for your reply.
    Unfortunately the battery does not charge when connected.
    Only when connected with the full battery it is working.
    I have measured the adapter with my multimeter and it seems to be working properly.
    Like you said, letting a technician look at it would be a smart idea.
    I decided to send it to a service center in my city, in about 4 weeks I would have the notebook back they said.
    Weird thing for me still is, that around three weeks ago the same happened. Windows said the power was not connected. But after plugging the power in and out a few times it worked again. Maybe this is a symptom of something?

  • Why does iphone not light up when connected to power ?

    The power lock button on my iphone 5 is broken. I turned it off using assist feature. Now when I connect the phone through cable to the wall charger, it does not light up. I know the battery was about 70% when I turned it off. Any clues ?

    If you are having issues with charging your iPhone I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
