Search button isn't bright anymore :(

[danielthuy]

Hi,
I'm using MIUI and my search button isn't bright anymore but it's still working.
Can someone help me?
I tried to come back to Froyo , CM7 but the search button is still not bright as it should be.
Here is the photo:

Sorry for my bad english.

Yes I have the same thing. Mine first started with the "back up" button going dim, then it started working OK, next the "search" button went dim & then started working, now it's the "home" button that's gone dim & that's been like for a few weeks now with no signs of it going bright.

I've tried it on froyo & CM7 & no difference so I'm thinking it's not software but sorry can't be of any further help.

That is very strange. I didn't know that the hardware was even capable to control the backlight on a button-by-button basis. I hope it is not causing a hardware issue like the Chinese Froyo ROM does to the Camera Flash.

This has happened to me with the menu button :/ I dropped my phone and think it busted the led light. Its really annoying

yeah my home button is dim since 1 month...hardware related

Me too. Same problem with search button. The other 3 buttons still ok. Just realized a week ago. But for sure, the light is there on CM7 RC0. I just flash CM7 RC1.5 recently. ROM/software related?...I'm not sure . My Defy drop once but just a soft drop. I don't think it will kill the light button since 'defy is tough'.

Highly hope for an answer and solution

you can try to back to official froyo.. if your search button still die, hardware problem is your problem..

Mine also died the day I flashed RC1.5 from RC1.0

sounds like a very hardware problem

 

[sykoism]

for me also, I have got my home button's light dead

My defy looks like this on a first post. On cm and miui it looks the same. I have not tried wiping or flashing stock.

 

[keewanchoapsss]

I think after the led is dead you wont get it back with as many flashes as you want.

Well my dim home button has started to work again (I went back to froyo 4 days ago) so now all buttons are working again.

Will see how long they last this time until another goes dim.

So...ROM/Software related? Not hardware? That's a relief...

Not sure yet may be too early to say as it came back a few days after reflashing froyo and not straight away.

OMG. I have the same problem, but with Back button instead of the search button. I'm running CMIUI. Never had this kind of problem before. Anybody has a solution yet?

 

[sp8y]

For me it comes and goes. Currently I have 2 buttons not lighting fully so it seems to not be related to ROM as I've had it on both froyo and CM7.......

oh no.

I'm thinking of having this phone reverted back to Froyo, unroot, remove every track of it being rooted and all, and have this phone serviced as soon as I can. My phone is still covered by the warranty in terms of the timeframe, after all.

Very dimmed Home button here. It's like this since CM7 RC 1.5. I can live with it.

Does warranty cover this problem?

My search button just died 1 week ago too...
