View Full Version : Need backlight reg key please, "BSOD" due to backlight issue

Ok, so I have searched this forum until my eyes have bled and the closest I have come is a key which changes the HKLM/comm something or another from 1 to 0 (I'd have to look at the thread again to be specific).

Here is my issue...
I installed an app--WMWifi Router. It became shareware, and my key went bad. I un-installed it. Since then when my Wiz goes into standby mode it goes into a sort of BSOD (black screen of death) and wouldn't recover without a reset. After much frustration I discovered that my backlight would actually set itself to the lowest setting which simulated a BSOD (because it went totally black). I made a shortcut into programs for backlight, and soft-keyed it to make it easier...but frankly, it is a right royal pain in the ass to reset the backlight EVERY time my Wiz goes into sleep mode. Oh, and I had removed all the checks telling it to sleep mode, but it ate my battery worse than pacman going for a ghost! So I ended up checking them off but setting the time to the longest settings.

So...
I am seeking your help. I need a reg entry that will keep backlight set to a higher lighting, and will keep it at this setting even into sleep mode, so that all I have to do is hit a button and my Wiz awakens nice and bright (like it used to).
I am running NTS's Jag rom and it has been uber-stable until uninstalling the above mentioned application. It has been doing this backlight BSOD issue ONLY since installing/uninstalling WMWifi Router. I have hard reset, but my backup is a post un-installation backup...so if I cant find a reg key to work this issue out, I fear I will have to hard set and lose all data, and manually re-stage my Wiz (which is an absolute last ditch effort in my mind).

So please...help.

Your speedy response, assistance is much appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Sorry to hear about a useless program like that jacking your rig.

Sad to say chief, but in all the time you spent bleeding your eyes reading, You could have already reflashed the rom and your programs.

5 mins to flash and MAYBE 15 mins installing the program you actually use, should be pretty easy if you're used to flashing new roms. You seem to know what you're doing, so that's a bonus! :)

The fix to the problem you're having is not even worth your time in my opinion, when you can redo the whole thing in less than 20 mins.

So unless you're just really not wanting to reflash, I doubt anyone will make a regkey for this (I don't know how, maybe someone will cause I wrote this :)

Goodluck

The only reason I am hesitant to reflash is because I let my kids play on my laptop (I shoulda known better) and ended up having to reformat the damned thing...and lost a bunch of apps. So, you're right, normally it would take a whole 15-20 minutes out of my life, but since I use my laptop exclusively and it was just formatted...it will take a bit longer. BUT...good news, I have managed to recover most of my drive, so now it is a matter of weeding out things to find the progs I need to flash my Wiz...so it may still end up being easier--just time consuming.

Moral of the story...don't try to wifi your connection with soft that will take out your reg files when you un-install it...AND...no matter how much your kids fight and get on your last damned nerve, don't let them play on your laptop!!
