Hi All,

I was just playing with my 130, when the backlight went off. I thought
it must have just timed out, and tried to switch it back on using the
power switch- nothing.
In case the switch was dead, I installed LightBulb, with turns the
assist icon into a backlight switch. I tried it again, but got nothing
but the buzzing sound the backlight used to make. No light though. I
tried the switch again, and that gave a brief flicker, before nothing.

Is it safe to assume the backlight is dead? Can i get pats easily in
the UK, or should i take the opportunity to upgrade to a MP2x00?

Thanks,
Fearghas
