C860 Backlight rapid, progressive, intermittant failure
« on: May 05, 2004, 05:39:41 pm »
Did a search here but no hits. The backlight on my C860 has just started to go intermittant, since last night. Particularly when the case is first opened for use.

Varries from none to full to everywhere in between. Very lite pressure on the back or sides brings the intensity back up (sometimes). Appears to be getting worse extremely rapidly.

Acts like a bad connection. Entire screen light shows uniform effect.

Nope - never dropped (or even set *down* hard). Never sat on, etc.

Anyone with similar problem reports in Cxx0 lines? OR 5xxx?

Thankful for Dynamism \"warantee\" now! Cause I\'m not gonna slice & dice this puppy till I\'ve got no other choice!

Crud. I can feel the withdrawal symptoms already <sniff>.
