SCREEN LIGHT or Backlight

Hey peeps... Marvin here with a Curve 8530.
Whenever I am online for a few minutes or longer the light on my screen flashes very bright periodically... Like afte a few minutes it will flash and then immediately dim again. I have my brightness turned completely down, auto dim is on, and my backlight timeout is almost as low as it will set on...
Can anyone tell me what may be going on and how I may be able to stop my Curve from getting really bright and then dimming every few minutes? I know that this has to be a battery killer...
THANKS

You auto dim is adjusting it sounds like... perhaps your covering the upper left LED area where the light sensor is located? Place your hand there and see what happens to the screen?

N97 screen light

Hi on my n97 whenever the screen is slided out the screen light doesnt seem to go off after 60 seconds ( what I have it set to ) however it does go out if the phone is NOT slided out. and the next morning I have no battery left.
thanks

The problem still persists with FW 22.0.110. Sometimes plugging in a headset seems to cause this particular "flavor" of freeze (one of many with the N97).
Recently however, I have discovered a new problem. The display backlight no longer turns off.
Timeout is set to 45 secs, auto-keyguard is on. Recently the light just stays on after placing or receiving a call or reading/sending texts so when I am at home or at work and just put the phone on the table and walk away the battery drains very fast with the lights on.
The usual fix (remove and reinsert battery) does work. Nevertheless this is just one more added annoyance of the N97.
Ever seen a black lemon? They turn black when they rot. My N97 is black. 'nuff said

Screen Light. (Gone with the wind)

how to I get my screen light to come back on. the ipod works and i have memorized all the touch applications but the screen light does not work. suggestions anybody?

When you Reset the iPod (restart it), do you see the Apple logo? This is the Reset procedure, if you've never done it.
How to reset iPod
If the screen is dark during the Reset, it may be a hardware problem. If the backlight is ON during the restart, but then goes off, there is actually a setting that keeps the backlight OFF (at least on my older iPod nano). If the screen is still working with no backlight, you should still be able to read it under a bright light. Go to the iPod's Settings screen, and set the Backlight so that it is not OFF.
You may also want to try doing a Restore, if the above is not helpful.

N95 screen lights don't always work

Hi guys just got my nokia replacement but the screen lights don't always work. They work sometimes then go off. Any ideas?
Its not who i am underneath. But what i do that defines me.
You are here for a reason Superman.
"Come to me son of Jor-EL. KNEEL BEFORE ZOD"

When you say it doesn't always work, are there certain steps you can reproduce to make it work (or not as the case may be ?)
The only thing I can suggest is formatting your N95 by using the *#7370# code and NOT restoring any backup and seeing if the problem still happens - if it does you have a hardware fault and you should approach your local Nokia Service Centre.
So far from the v12 firmware thread I don't think anyone has reported the backlight not working as a known problem.

Edward

I have an ipod classic where the screen lights up but is completely blank so am not able to access any music,playlist or menu etc.Any idea how to fix this

I have an Ipod Classic and currently the screen lights up but no information appears - just a blank back lit screen.Any ideas how to rectify or is it beyond saving?

Hi mafiose15,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
You can find the instructions in this article:

HT201210 THE screen light of my I phone 3Gs is not on...it always off from past few days

THE screen light of my I phone 3Gs is not on...it always off from past few days

Hey Arun1205,
That definitely sounds frustrating. We'll need to isolate this issue to figure out if it is indeed hardware:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Display has no backlight or dark screen
- Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
- Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
- While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
- If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Another iPad2 "light leak" "backlight bleeding" "yellowing spots" thread!

I bought the iPad 2, White, 64g WIFI-only, at a Target. As soon as I turned it on, I immediately noticed a yellowish bleeding light from the edge of the display on the bottom right.
Today, I went to an Apple store and showed it to a Genius, who was "shocked" to see it when he took is to a dark room in the back and replaced it with an unopened one.
So I took it home, and guess what happened next? It was WORSE! It had light leaks, backlight bleeding, and yellow spots all over the screen! I drove back to the Apple store and found my Genius who was surprised to see me. He immediately took it the back room and confirmed the issue, yet again. So he gave me a new one.
Guess what happened next. Yup, same problem, not as bad as the 2nd one, about the same as the 1st one I bought from Target. So I went back to the Apple store, and couldn't find my original Genius. A guy called "Scotty" told me that they "ran out" and that I would have to call back on Monday and can "...reserve one if they receive a shipment, because it's an exchange."
I wonder if it's a "white iPad" issue. Some folks online with a black iPad seem to be reporting an issue.
This is quite annoying and cannot wait to get a replacement. I was at the Apple store for 3 hours today. Blah!

I am now on my 4th iPad returned and exchanged.
This time I asked for a black one to replace my white one - which I justified as "maybe this is a white issue, not a black issue, as some people report." That seemed to convince them.
So now I have a black one, which is the color I actually originally wanted anyway. My brother, who is thousands of miles away, told me his black iPad has no leaking whatsoever, which made me think I should try to the black as well.
Guess what, the Black is ALSO affected. No change. I'm tired of going to Apple store at this point. I'll just wait for a few months and exchange this stupid thing. I cant really say I didn't try. And I can't really say Apple Genius guys didn't try either.

E63 light sensor & backlight problems

Hi
I have got a new E63 and while I have seen plenty of discussions surrounding the problems with the light sensor not recognising darkness (not switching the keypad light on) I haven't seen any conclusive answers on how to fix this. It's only worked once in the week I've had the phone.
I was using the phone (the screen was still lit up) and I put it in my pocket and then took it out a second later and the keys were all lit up but when i put it in my pocket a second time and took it out it just as quickly it stopped working again and the keys were not lit up this time??? I have the latest firmware installed. (100.21.110) I haven't contacted Nokia yet but does anybody an E63 with a light sensor/keypad backlight that actually works properly?
Anybody know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance...

Right! I think I have found the problem! The keypad backlight DOES work consistently. This must be a battery saving technique which is actually pretty cool but there is still a slight problem...
If you unlock the phone in a dark room (doesn't have to be pitch dark) the keypad lights up as the light sensor thinks there's not enough light for you to see the keys. If you switch a light on, the keypad lights go out. If you then switch off the light so the room is dark again the keypad lights won't come on. You have to wait till the screen light goes out then press a key and the keypad lights up again. I have done this 5 or 6 times in a row now and the slight problem it seems is that the light from the screen leaks into the light sensor so it doesn't recognise darkness until the screen light goes out. Hope this makes sense. This seems like a bit of a design flaw in the placement of the light sensor as it is obviously too close to the screen, which is why it thinks there is light in the room if the screen light is on
Hmm, come on Nokia, how can you overlook that one?

Screen light auto turn dark when I use program/web with background dark in windows 8.1

Hi there,
I used HP Pavilion dv6t-6000 CTO Quad for 3 years.
CPU: Intel core i7-2630QM
GPU: AMD Radeon 6490m
It build in windows 7 and I manual install ( fresh install ) windows 8. It's fine. But when I upgrade to windows 8.1, it have an issue and I really hate it.
When I use "Sublime Text" ( with background is black ), the screen light is become darker. And when I back to ( e.g: a website with background is white ), the screen turn back to lighter.
I tried many ways, included 4 ways here but it's NOT WORK.
NOTE: When I used Option 1 ( upper )
1. Open PC settings, and click/tap on PC and devices on the left side
2. Click/tap on Power and sleep on the left side, and turn on or off Adjust my screen brightness automatically on the right side under Brightness.
==> It's NOT SHOW button "Adjust my screen brightness automatically". It mean: I have NO built in auto brightness sensor.
I think this issue is about AMD driver or Intel Graphic driver.
Is anybody have idea???

i grasp that after updating your system from Windows 8 to 8.1 you are having an issue with the display going dim.
You have tried some steps you located on the web but there was no change.
Windows 8 an 8.1 are not supported Operating Systems for your notebook. This does not mean they will not work only that HP has not tested it and therefore does not supply updated drivers. You would need to check the manufacturer's site for any updated drivers.
Downloading or Updating Software and Drivers for HP Computers
When I checked the driver page for your notebook I did notice there is a bios update, have you done that?

As a bios update does have a potential to cause damage I suggest contacting HP support for assistance with that process.

How do i retrieve data from a powerbook whose screen lights up but displays nothing? I have a firewire and a second powerbook...

how can I retrieve data from my old powerbook? It's screen lights up, but displays only pixelated blankness. I have a second powerbook and a firewire cable....

It would probably be correct to assume that both PowerBook computers are equipped with FireWire. The article below could possibly be of interest to you. With a bit of luck, the old computer will be recognised.

Otherwise, it may become necessary to open the old PowerBook and remove the hard drive. The drive can then be connected to an appropriate external USB adapter, and read via another Mac.

Just turned on my ipad 2 wi-fi , black screen lights up to lighter black but I cant see a thing on it... does anyone have any ideas on what's wrong with it?

Try this First... No Data will be Lost...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

HT1386 After upgrading itune on my computer to 10.5 and after upgrading to ios 5 on my 3g iphone, and after backup on my computer, my iphone simplay cannot open up. The screen lights up but it I keep getting the message, "there is no sim in your phone. Th

I have upgraded itunes on m computer to 10.5. When I connected my iphone to the computer I was told that ios 5 is ready to be downloaded, and that I should back up my iphone before doing the download. I did. Now I want to get my iphone back on and it just can't . The screen lights up, i select language and network but it tells me that my phone cannot be activated because the activation service is temporarily unavailable. what do i do?

Try a Hard Reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds. Ignore the swipe to turn off message.

When I press to the left of the home button, the screen lights up

When I press to the left of my home button, the screen lights up as if I were pressing the actual button. This causes Siri to pop up randomly all the time and my phone keeps accidently taking screen shots. Should I take it in?

I was a little confused when I first read this, but I think I understand what you mean now. The bottom left part of the glass on the front of the iPhone, by the home button, can cause it to act like you're pressing the home button. I do not experience this issue on my iPhone 5. This is probably a small defect in your iPhone. It isn't major, though, I'm sure if you visit the Genius Bar in your nearest Apple Store, you can get advice from the experts on what to do.

Screen lights up white but nothing shows?

when I turn on my iPod the screen lights up and when I touch the wheel I can here it clicking but the screen doesn't show up except for lit up white. The music does play but does anyone know what I need to do to get my screen fixed?

I don't know whether this will help because it's not specifically for nanos. Worth a try.
iPod 5th gen (with video) shows blank or white screen.

Screen Lights up while I'm on a call

Why does my screen light up when I'm talking on my Iphone4? I keep muting, hanging up, putting tne person I'm speaking with on hold....this is extremely annoying and makes me regret buying this phone! Why is this happening? What should I do?

I never think of myself as suffering from the proximity sensor issue but the truth is that on the odd occasion that I don't have my bumper on my phone I do sometimes mute the call with my cheek. This never ever happens with the bumper on the phone.
