There is a one year warranty.
The PB has a one year warranty to the original purchaser. It also has 90 free Tech support. I do not know how Rim deals with "quasi-tech support v. warranty"

Re: Backlight wire loose?
Just a guess here.......Could it be your case interfering with the light sensor and the flexing moves the case just enough?
This question comes from experience with an economical "leather" portfolio case purchased on Amazon for $4.00 shipped. It looked great, but the Playbook kept sliding down, and the light sensor would be covered causing my screen to dim.
Re: Backlight wire loose?
This last week I have had it out of the case so certainly. Not that.
Ya I know about the 1 year warranty. I will look into that, but to do so is to pay for the customer support as I've had it since last Christmas. Not sure if I need a receipt or not my dad got it from them internally as her worked there.
I can't really give it up as it is my only net connection. I don't even have a BB anymore.

oooooooh okay...I wondered why my pb went all crazy one night. I was watching a movie at a house party via hdmi....didn't pay attention to where or how the playbook was sitting....there were strobe lights and pro gear and lighting , and I was using my bb smartphone as a remote.....when I tried to touch the screen and such it would jump around all crqzy. I didn't know there was a light sensor....was that what made my pb go alll skitzy?

Not sure if your experience was light sensor related or not. It sounds more like electrical interference from all the other electrical gear around your Playbook
