SubjectBACKLIGHT PROBLEM - IPAQ 3870 new Reply to this message

Hi

I have what is called a backlight problem with my ipaq 3870. When I turn it on after more than 6 hours , like in the morning, the backlight never comes on and I need to wait about 2 minutes to get it back. No long press of power button of soft reseting ever helped. The longer the time it was off, the longer time I have to wait. Talked to come compaq technician and was told it is a common hardware problem. Anybody of you have it?

Mine does this also. Randomly.
It sounds like a hardware problem. Compaq needs to figure out what it is and fix it.
I haven't had the time to call and complain yet.

I know when you hold down the power button this triggers the light. I realize the problem is still around however some people don't try this easy solution before jumping to the conclusion of a hardware problem. (the guy in the first post seems to have a hardware prob definitively )

I also have this problem on my 3870, and it is pissing me right off.
Keep it charged and it seems to be OKish, but if you leave it on a desk for a few hours, and not in the cradle, it seems to be OK
