Buttons not lighting up

[Janis]

Can anyone shed any light on why my buttons, just the ones on the unit itself, aren't producing their lovely orange glow anymore? The d-pad light still works, but the OK, Win & browser buttons are dark.

The only thing I could think of was that I installed SBSH, like everything because I'm fed up with Spb, so I uninstalled w/ several reboots. Still no go.

Maybe it's better that way. Less battery drain. It's not like I can't find them, but they were cute. My 3-year-old daughter loves the orange.

UPDATE:

I never did figure out what it was. Between booting up with PhoneAlarm, UltimateLaunch, MccMoblieFinder, LivePVR (which I'm not sure works) something crashed, so I hard reset.

I did figure out after my reset that the backlight doesn't actually go all the way off; when the buttons are off the screen is as dim as it's going to get (and now with rk-backlight, I am finally free of SPB - they lost thier robustitude with newer OSs and everyone else seems to have caught up with thier graphics, but with a smaller footprint.)

Does your backlight work? i always thought it was just the backlight shining through the buttons.

Well, no, actually I've never really thought about it.

Mine are off until the backlight comes on then they are on.

I noticed the other day that mine had gone off too, but a soft reset sorted it.

Backlight off

there's rk-backlight.exe

check the Settings/system/backlight

The backlight on a working x7500/1 doesn't actually go all the way off, the screen does (standby), and the buttons do when it's in it's more-or-less "off" state (the buttons are off, and the system calls the state "off" but it's just really low.)

If you can see the screen, but there really is NO backlight, my suggestions in this order:

• a soft reset
• install a backlight contolling software like rk-backlight & set it
• a hard reset
• a flash of a new rom
• send it in to ppctechs.com for repair
