Hi all,

My status LED and keyboard backlight are not working anymore. I booted up recently and did see a yellow flash, but since haven't been able to reproduce any LED light whatsoever.

I am running the latest fcamera and power kernel. I read somewhere that I need to take the battery out for 10 minutes? Can someone explain why? I will give that a try if it makes sense.

I tried the healthcheck application and none of the LED patterns lit up.

yup, remove battery for a few minutes, and reboot. as to why, something somewhere gets reset? PFM if you ask me, but it works.

edit: here's a more detailed discussion about how to recover from fcam messing up backlight: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=50766

in short: remove the battery for a few minutes...
