Post by: ProDave on December 23, 2011,07:19:05: What do you mean by "gone dark"?

Just a little bit darker than it should be, but still watchable?

Or gone just about black, and if you look very very carefully you can just make out an extremely dark picture, and shining a torch on the screen shows the picture a little better?

If the latter, then the backlighting has failed and is probably repairable.

Post by: Turnip on December 25, 2011,12:55:33: Me too,

Getting old but not at all wise - Trust S/D will keep us old baby boomers upright in our slow electric transports to the supermarket.

Serious thought - some of us old folks (not me, quite yet) driving on the pavement, tumble into the street, and get squished because their crap transport can't handle any angle above zero.

Perhaps another Quuq section for old folks safe transport - though perhaps not in a 'saving' filter down economy - Chris.

Post by: athena14 on January 26, 2012,22:22:07: I suggest you let it checked by a technician to determine the real reason why the screen darkens. Only experts can tell it.
