My camera flash was working great a few days ago. I have the video camera set up so that the flash is "on" always. Just for situations when i need a light quickly, like finding my car keys in a dark parking lot or when the electricity goes out and i need to find my flashlight in the dark.

I tried it yesterday, and no luck... not working. So today a had a little time to investigate my settings just to see if i mucked something up a bit. So all my settings are correct (same as when it DID work). I tried a reset (alt+r shift+ del). Still nothing. Battery pull... still nothing. Have not dropped it, or gotten it wet. I keep it in a leather pouch.

Now what??? I know i could take it back (alltel) but i am kinda attached to it... lol. would like to exhaust efforts before taking it back and getting a replacement.

Alltel 8330 OS 4.3. No recently added software, no upgrades, no betas.
Running programs are: Browser, call log, messaging, BBM, Home Screen, Epocrates (does anyone know how to close this BTW??? no close option under menu)
Installed Apps: Epocracrates, Weatherbug, CB launcher, news launcher, got-2, Vlingo, google apps, YMess, Telenav, Blackjack, Nascar launcher. All have been installed for weeks or months prior to problem. Some never used (need to delete).

What was your battery level when this occurred?

[Ter1990]

Battery level is at 65% right now. I charge it every night and that is about as low as i have ever seen it. This morning when i was troubleshooting, it was probably 90 or 95 %. (I am not a very heavy user, although no less addicted... lol)

anyone have any ideas. just left alltel and all they suggested was a replacement (ie. refurb). please help... i like my curve and don't want to trade.
