Dan,
I had an MPI30 that developed the same Problem
after being left stored in it's box for about a year. Nothing that I tried in the way of reset etc could make It work. Then one day It was sitting on my desk at work and On Comes the backlight-all of it's own accord!
Based on Information and suggestions from others (Particularly other list members) I came to the conclusion that It might have been a condensation problem of some sort. I do not know If this Will do any good in your Case, but It was suggested to me that I take the back off and leave the Newt to ``dry out". As things turned out, the backlight came back of it's own accord before I could try this.
I wish that I could offer something more constructive.
