My backlight wont go off since last night.

[ducamie]

It wastes lots of battery. I think i might have damaged the light sensor but i've tried turning it off but it doesnt change anything.

Anybody know?

Even if the light sensor is damaged, your backlight will go off after your device idles for some. Check your settings

thanks for the prompt reply.
ive checked all my power managment settings and they're all on the lowest time settings..
i dont understand why it would do this.

Are you using any softwares that manages the backlight timeout? Such as Tweak2k2, etc

Maybe you installed maniac's AutoKeyLock, I had the same behavior a couple of time...
It seems like after some time, it overrides by mistake the power mgt values.

Hi!

I have the same problem. Wm6 The back light turn to the dim mode and that"s all. It does switch off the screen. If I connect to the AC power It does the same. When I lock the keypad, every thing seems to be all right. It switches the screen off. Any idea. I restarted the phone, but nothing changed, i didn't install any Autokeylock program.

Hi, this problem exist occasionally after you install some apps (i.e. AutoKeylock). You can fix it easy - enter registry and open key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Power" then modify value in key "Display".
