backlight problem

[zippy77777]

You might know the answer to this straight away. When I connect my XDA 2i into the cradle the screen goes dark and Im not sure how you get it to light up when its in the cradle, any ideas people?

Hold the power button for 2-3 seconds and you'll be "enlighted".

What bothers me is, that when I turn it off (stand by actually), it automatically powers on after a while. And sometimes I just want it to charge. That's when I turn off the backlight with the procedure stated above.

Does it go dark or darkER?

If it's darker then I'd check your backlight settings in Start > Settings > System > Backlight > External Power and also the Brightness tab.
