External backlight

[Who]

Does the external keyboard/pad have a backlight. I bought my phone off ebay so I don't know if it is supposed to - mine doesn't!

How weird.

Do you think it will be turned off in software or is it missing hardware.

Swifty - what region is your phone, does it have GPS?

I have Europe (UK) with GPS. I here the gps is behind the KB - perhaps that replaces the backlight?

On the other hand - if the backlight has gone then perhaps =the GPS will go soon too!? :S

i have an europe one with GPS.
the GPS is placed in the keypad(no replace)
the problem is the flexcable from the board to the keypad.
it is possible that your GPS will go soon

Grrr...

I wonder what the chances/costs of replacement at a UK service centre are?

I really only moved to a smart phone because my old Psion's screen flexi died! Damn FPCs!
