    Welcome to CrackBerry.

    It could be a loose connections or damage to the LCD display screen. Either way, it will have to be dismantled to fix the problem.

    There are repair shops that will service out of Warranty repairs or you can try to repair it yourself.

    Ok, that looks simple enough, just check the connector for the screen, what about the Keyboard thing? How do I have the keyboard lit whenever the backlight on the screen is lit?

    If the problem is in the connection, that will likely fix up the backlight to the keyboard.

    You should be warned, doing this will void your warranty. If it is still covered, you would be better off exchanging it for a refurbished device.

    Well, I replaced my LCD screen, and it works fine, the problem I am having is my keyboard will not light up at all. I would like it to light up every time my screen backlight is on.
