After some time some of them loose this blue light. Here is how to fix it by yourself:

And here is translation from Chinese:

Step 1: Prepare a star-shape T5m/m screwdriver.

Step 2: Turn off the power, remove battery. Carefully remove 4 screw protection rubber. Remove 4 screws.

Step 3: Seperate the LCD screen cases. Use your fingernail by adding force on the tenon located on the middle of case side (each on both sides).

Step 4: Red circle on the picture shows the welds of the screen light. Because they are located at the side of the speaker and they are usually vulnerable, the welds are easily be damaged by the vibration that is caused by long time loudspeaker voice.

Then turn on the phone, wait for booting, try pressing the volume control and check whether the screen light works or not.

If not, you need to adjust the welds. Please continuously press the volumne controller and after some time, press the brown flat cable with non-electricity conducting tool. Please notice do not touch the silver welds.

After the above procedures, normally the screen light works. If not, please go through RMA procedure.

Step 5: Reassemble all the parts including the rubber, screws and cases.
