5x00 Hardware / 5500 Dropped and Dimmed

« on: June 03, 2004, 05:59:13 pm »

3 years without slamming it on the ground...and I finally did it.  My 5500 still runs fine, except it is in \"very dim\" mode.  It\'s as if the dimmer controls were set to level 1 (not 0=off).  I am so glad that\'s all it did, but it is unusable everywhere but a dark room.

Anyone have an ideas on what might have happened?  What could I look for when I open it up?

I have already tried resetting it, sliding the dimmer control panel around (in the cradle and out), dropping it again (jk), etc, to no avail.

Thanks!
