mOcean demo screwed up my backlighting- HELP please - Treo Forums

tomm · 08-22-2006, 12:58 PM

I installed the mOpean mp3 player demo on my Treo 650 (GSM unlocked) and tried to synchronize one iTunes playlist on my MacBook PRO (10.4.7). The syncing froze in the middle, with the Treo screen locking up, unplugging the treo did not help, cancel on the Treo did not help, since it was locked, so I reset the Treo, it rebooted fine with the backlight coming on during the boot, but the backlight goes off as soon as the Treo is finished booting. So I tried to delete all installed Ocean files (using FileZ), rebooting, re-installing the mOcean demo, deleting it again it still does not work, so now I have no backlight on my Treo and it makes it almost impossible to use.

I noticed that the user manual mentioned that the screen dimms during the Sync, so it is intentional and since it froze the 1st time during the sync, some backlighting preference must have got corrupted. I'd appreciate if somethine could suggest how to restore the backlighting on the Treo. Needless to say, I don't need mOpean anymore. The company does not have a phone number and their email is supposed to get answered in 2 business days - very impressive.

thanks

Try hitting your Option button, then right Shift button. That normally toggles the backlight on and off.

thanks, I tried that now that I have figured out how to turn the backlight back on, and your suggestion dimms the backlight, but it does not turn it on and off.

I re-installed the mOcean demo after reading Xious Sonenberg review on Treocentral and under Settings, I had to scroll down to the bottom to see the backlight menu. Togglin it on (with the right arrow button) brings the backlight back on.

So, now I can safely delete it, since I don't think I trust it enogh to try it again. Plus I am not impressed with comany that takes 2 busines days to reply and has no phone number.
