730 backlight not working

[mccririck]

You can only see the screen in very low light, sometimes the backlight flickers though. Can it be fixed easily?

What is your brightness setting set for?

 

[mccririck]

Not sure, but the fact the backlight flickers sometimes when you shake it or give it a knock kind of tells me the brightness setting isnt the problem.

Day - 80%

Night - 40%

Well, it does seem hardware related then. A loose connector? Supermods mikealder or canderson are experts at this sort of stuff. Look for either or both to make an appearance in this thread.

 

[mccririck]

ok thanks.

Most probably either the BackLight Inverter or the backlight itself, to fix this you really need a new front screen portion as that contains everything you need - Mike

How much do they cost and are they easy to fit?

Take a gamble on something like This and swap the screen portion over, there are two torx screws in the rear of the device and a couple of electrical connectors to undo - Mike
