Backlight not working

[relbourn]

Hi I recently received an xdaII with windows mobile 5 on it.
However the backlight wasn't working, even if I try to hold down the power button.
Also when I try vjeschaton to toggle it on or off (the other functions work) it doesn't work, could the phone be damaged or do I need to re do the rom somehow?
(ie the backlight auto switched off when the battery and backup battery went down but on recharge a bug prevented the light coming on again)

any ideas people?

further problems now, I have tried installing xda II rom Xda_II_172187_Final and its predecessor and unfortunately it wont work, its stuck at the
USB v1.06 message page it seems I have problems updating it, maybe due to vista maybe due to active synch maybe due to something else... any ideas?

Resoved the 1.06 Problem, looked like it was a vista/versioning problem with activesynch

But the backlight is STILL NOT WORKING!

I know the light function is being selected because the other buttons light up, just not the backlight for the LCD

anyone got any ideas?

sounds like the lcd backlight "lamp" died to me
