My backlight lights with every push of any button. I would say your phone is faulty. I am not an expert so don't take my opinion to seriously.RegardsJohn

John - The LCD will illuminate with the dialing buttons when the handset is active, and turns off when the handset is idle to conserve battery life. Thanks!

No, the screen doesn't light up, and you cannot see it in the dark. I will rephrase, my screen doesn't light up, and I cannot see it in the dark.

My phone got pretty poor battery life (maybe 1 day or so) until I turned off the keypad light (menu --> settings --> backlight --> duration to off). Now it gets a few days, not great, but not horrible. Your phone or charger is (or was) certainly defective--10 minutes is ridiculous.Alan

It happened to me. Try installing the screen again, especially the small part that connect the screen glass and the back board.

The screen is most definitely NOT backlit. The only lights on this phone are the Incoming Call light above the screen, and the Mute and Speaker buttons when activated. If you go to the official description at telephones.att.com, they make no mention of backlighting (or Dect 6.0 cordless compatibility either - Amazon refuses to correct these errors). The model with full screen backlighting is the CL4940.

No,the numbers do not light up. Also, even though it has Caller ID, there is no back-light so it's very difficult to see who is calling. What were they thinking? The phone does have excellent sound quality but becaue the extra features do not light, I would not recommend purchasing this phone unless you don't mind not having back-lights. To me, it's frustrating.

Yes, the buttons light up. They also light up when you pick up the phone to make a call.

I would reset the phone first to factory settings. Turn off phone hold power volume up and home butto at same time see if it takes you to the reset screen. It could be an app causing the problem and if that don't work then buy the part.

If you tap the power button on the top of the unit it will display the brightness and volume. Make sure it is set to 100% You might also what to add a screen glare protector - it helps a little :-)

The red light should turn on. Perhaps you don't have it set well? That happened to me. It took some twisting and turning to get the light to come on. Check the phone. It should show the phone charging if it is working properly.

Try to disconnect the battery and reconnect it. Sometimes the part work works but the phone is rejecting it until the power is shut off completely from the phone. Once it powers back on, everything show function properly. If not, the part may be defective or the actual ribbon cable coming from the LCD could be damaged.

Yes, the LCD screen is normally dark ( but viewable in room light ), but when you perform a function, press buttons, etc. the screen does light up.

Hi i dont' think that the buttons light up. at least they're not lit on ours. (unless there's a setting or something that i didn't notice?) but my mother is very happy with it...

It sounds like you have a bad unit. With mine, the screen lights up when I push the power on button whether on USB or not. Now, the screen does not stay lighted the whole time the payer is running, I assume for battery life, but my screen lights anytime I press the power button, but stays lit only for 4 or 5 seconds. HTH

Not sure if this will help ,but when you short press the blue lights on top should light (telling you how much power is left)and the screen on your phone should light up with a notification saying 'charging'anyway that's what Galaxy S4 and Nexus7 both do.If this isn't happening ,then you might have a faulty one( which does happen)Any case I would try to contact the seller and ask them if they could possibly give you any suggestions or return for exchange it.

Oh i see what you mean now with the missing button. I just looked on mine and that button is black. When the backlight is on it looks like it is not lit up.

You need to push the on/off button ones to turn on the LED lights. It only lights up during the music if you push this button.
