Screen doesn't light up.

The backlight for the screen doesn't light up. If it's bright out, i can see the main menu and controll all the stuff but if it's dark, i need a flashlight to see it. All of the settings are maxed on it, are there any other secret settings i'm missing or do i need a new backlight for the screen?

Thanks

Since all your settings are maxed out,have you tried pulling the battery out while its on? If this doesnt work you might have to get a new lcd screen. You can get one here

Also, if you have insurance I would take it back for a trade.

I tried taking the battery out, but nothing. Is there any disassembly instructions any where online? I just bought 3 "parts only" 8703e's on ebay for $30 for future break downs. No insurance either, it's my sisters old one and i'm a hobby tinkerer. Thanks for the help.
