Is anyone having problem with the backlight not turning off in standby mode (single press the power button)? I can see the light on standby mode even i just turned off the screen. It drains the battery so fast during standby and I have to recharge...

I started having this issue when I updated to Windows 8.1. I assume it's a faulty driver or somesuch.

The back light stays on for only a few seconds. There is setting in the menu to control it a bit. The reading stays on for a long enough time until battery saving shuts the unit down. I have never had a problem with these issues. I does have a continuous measuring mode.

The model I got has a backlight. It seems to be on when it is plugged in. You don't really notice it, until it is dim enough to see it.

I have several reviews that said there is no backlit display - yet the description of the product says it does have one. Is there a way to activate it or turn it on? Thank you!

I have the same problem! This has really been bothering me, especially when it goes in and out. I am going to try to change the backlight and also notice if it has something to so with it only happening with bright shots.) Since it is under service warranty, I definitely plan to call the service repair number. Did any of you call for service? I will check the model of my 40" sony.

I've been going crazy about the LCD backlighting! My printer is also connected via wireless router -- maybe I'll hardwire it and see if that makes a difference.There are two different kinds of power-saving I've seen, the most frequent-but-uncommon is the LCD backlight turning itself off. Even more rare, the LCD backlight not only turns off, it actually display a message along the lines of, "Printer is in low-power sleep mode."I tried another HP tech, and he was no help either. His reply was simply, "The printer is designed to be powered-on 24/7." Thanks, genius. I'll keep trying to get information on these powersaving modes, please let me know if you find anything either!

I think I found an answer to the issue. The problem I had is that I changed the settings immediately to "Dynamic," which raises the brightness significantly, and is only supposed to be used in a very bright room. When I put the settings back to normal everything looks great and the side light issues disappear. I guess I just need to listen to the suggestions of what the different picture modes are for.

If you go into advanced power settings you can turn off adaptive brightness. That fixed this issue for me. Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options, then click on "Change plan settings" next to your active power plan.Click on "Change advanced power settings."Scroll down to Display, then under Enable adaptive brightness, switch it off for both the battery and plugged in modes.

My backlight lights with every push of any button. I would say your phone is faulty. I am not an expert so don't take my opinion to seriously.RegardsJohn

I'm not 100% sure what you mean by standby mode. On mine if I want to see if it is connected I look at my phone. On my android the bluetooth icon will be blue, and on my iPhone it will show the bluetooth icon as connected.On the IOgear itself it will blink blue every 15-30 seconds or so if it is on and will have no lights if it is off.

It may be just very dim. I've noticed that the flashing LED is hardly illuminated in a lighted room. It's kind of ironic that the light is super bright but the charging LED Is very dim. Could be that you have a defective model if the power button doesn't light at all.

It sounds like the "backlight" in the screen went bad. if the backlight is going bad/dim, it will make colors look dull or washed out. However, if you think this is a software issue and not hardware, suggest you try to change your battery settings - change to maximum performance (instead of max battery) and see if that changes anything.

I had this same issue with mine last night. I finally had to Hold the power button down for 10-15 seconds for it to turn off. I also plugged it into the charger to attempt to turn it off. It finally did turn off after an hour of searching here on web. However, it will not move past the android guy in the middle of screen when turned back on. I am returning it today.

My light (green) stay's on when charging. It goes off when complete. Mine only blinks when the battery is low. It sounds as if your battery might be faulty. I never use tech support on anything. They usually know less about their products than we do!

Yes. In addition you have the option to turn off the backlight completely, keep it on all the time, or have it turn on only in low light conditions.

I can't say I've left it in standby from a full charge till it has died, but overnight drop in standby was pretty high. Probably between 15-20% drop. I think the worst I have seen it was close to 35% drop one night. I mostly just shut down if I know I am not going to be using it for extended periods because the boot up time is so fast. probably under 20 seconds max.

Hello E. R.! My sincere regrets on hearing about the issue. A little more information about the actual state of the equipment would be very helpful in assisting. If there is not any backlighting apparent when turning on the unit, it could be a faulty contact under the "On" button or a blown fuse. Was anything spilled on the controller or have you ensured the quality of A/C coming from the wall? If you can, please provide more details on symptoms and what you have tried thus far in troubleshooting. Thanks, and best of luck! :)
