Backlight goes off when I connect to cradle

[onapping1]

Hi all,
I have installed tomtom 6.0 and tried to fix the back light problem. I believe I have fixed the backlight problem, but now when I connect my himalaya to the cradle, the backlight goes off. And even when I run tomtom the backlight is off. Hard to see. Once I closes off tomtom the backlight comes on. Does any one have a solution for it?
Thanks

This may be a bit obvious but have you checked the backlight options? go to start, settings, click on the system tab at the bottom, then go to the back light. Once you tap on backlight you have a few options turn backlight on or off on battery power, or the same when on external power, choose which suits you best. Hope this helps you

Regards Cozmicray :)
