If you can't see the time and date then its definitely broken. My unit is bright enough to clearly display the time & date, even during daylight hours. There is only one level of "brightness"(the default).

Charged? I didn't have to charge it. I just plugged it in.If the clock doesn't turn on send it back

This clock is using ac. If no light at all, I believe it's broken. If u can't return it, the seller told me to contact manufacturer. It is 1 yr warranty. It happened to mine as well.

I'm so sorry, I can't help with that question. I gave up on the clock because it doesn't glow in the dark!

I believe the question refers to the digital time not being backlit. This is an issue I also have with this unit. Very hard to read the time. In fact, any of the info on the screen is hard to read!

Same problem. Have a dock that charges my ipod but when I plug it in there is no light. It's an old dock, copyright 2004.

I haven't had any problem. My husband thought it wasn't working after the electricity went out but we notice when the time flashes on the screen the system isn't turned on, it should be a steady light even if the time is wrong. Is the light on the on/off knob red? If its red its on stand by. Great sound from this sytstem, we like it.

Yes, it is supposed to light up, but it doesn't necessarily go off when it's charged, I've noticed. My original one turned green when it was charged, but this one doesn't. It may not be charging or the light may be faulty. Mine stays red even when charged in the recent one I bought.

I agree it is very dark or dim when I have it plugged in. If I unplug it the screen is very bright. Will contact garmin to see why. Also volume is very low

Figured it out!! You have to press the V/S button on the back of the clock. I pressed it once and something like '--5D' displayed (can't remember exactly what it displayed) and now it stays on lit all the time!! :D

I thought mine didn't work at all. Had to tap on it pretty hard. Even then, it's not very bright.

No the digital time (screen) never light up. You need to get closer to see what time is ON and what set up you have.

I charged mine and when i went to sync it the green light stayed on. No matter what i try i cannot get it to beep or flash, light just stays solid green. I will be returning it.

It may be just very dim. I've noticed that the flashing LED is hardly illuminated in a lighted room. It's kind of ironic that the light is super bright but the charging LED Is very dim. Could be that you have a defective model if the power button doesn't light at all.

The lighting on the LED numbers can be dimmed. It sounds like this could be happening. Have you tried hitting the "snooze" button? That will dim the numbers each time you press it until you can't see it anymore. Press it again and it should light up bright. Hopefully that helps!

Mine is reddish pink at plug in, you can see the blue, top edge of the light. It turns blue after charging. It takes several hours. The unit is chip made, but works. That's why cost so little. Yours may have defective light, and you possibly only see one color. Put the battery in the phone, and see the charge level before and after charging it. At least you know if it works.

You would have to activate the timer first for the timer to be on. (The little clock face on the lower left corner.) When the timer is activated the red power light would flash. Sounds like something is wrong with your unit though.

There's a small button on the right that lets you choose between a bright back light, a dim back light or no back light. Even the dim is too bright for me. I turn it off but then have no way to see the time.

If the LED doesn't turn on while you are charging it, then the unit itself might be defective. If it does, then try holding the power button for 60 seconds. If, again it doesn't turn on, then it is also a broken unit.
