Guest jellybaby Posted November 29, 2003 Report Posted November 29, 2003 I got my MXP200 today, and although i think its fantastic, my keypad doesnt appear to be backlit.....is this a faulty handset ?
Guest Emad Posted November 29, 2003 Report Posted November 29, 2003 Backlighting isn't that strong :lol:
Guest jellybaby Posted November 29, 2003 Report Posted November 29, 2003 mine appears to be non existant
Guest alphaflux Posted November 30, 2003 Report Posted November 30, 2003 Yeah, I would say that you have a problem with the phone. As Emad said the backlight really isn't that strong and is very hard to see in all but the fainest of lights, but certainly in the dark when you need it most, the keys are visibly back lit.
Guest Brewdogg18 Posted November 30, 2003 Report Posted November 30, 2003 mine appears to be non existant Also, I bet when the screen is lit up, your phone piece (where you hear peoples voices. No, not the ones in your head, but the ones in the phone, lol) hummms, really really loudly too right? BTW, if there is no lights, its broken!
Guest jellybaby Posted November 30, 2003 Report Posted November 30, 2003 Thanks for your replies, will pop into orange this morning and get it changed
Guest PooBear Posted December 7, 2003 Report Posted December 7, 2003 Is there a buzzing coming from the internals bahind the keypad - like a tiny cooling fan?
Guest avrguru Posted December 7, 2003 Report Posted December 7, 2003 I had loaded several 'free' apps onto my phone, and THEN noticed that the backlight (only for the keypad, not for the screen) had quit. After unloading them, the backlight came back alive!! You might try that too. As far as the BUZZ goes, I found that it varied somewhat with the charge level of the battery. It's actually noise from an inductor in a power supply in the base of the phone. There's nothing to be done except send it back, as it is a (sort-of) defective component. The wire wrapped around the ferrite core is normally epoxied into place; if it comes loose, the windings can vibrate as current flows and stops through the inductor itself.

To further eleborate my problem, my key lights stopped working, and the buzzing came directly from the ear piece of the phone, not from anywhere else, and THEN it only happened when the screen was lit up, when the screen went to black mode to save battery the noise would disappear!
Guest FrankyG Posted December 18, 2003 Report Posted December 18, 2003 The Buzzing has just started on mine, which I've had for a month now. Is this a fault which Orange accept is their repsonsibility? I'm going away next week and want a new phone before then, not have to wait for repair...anyone had any luck on getting a new phone after complaining about this fault?
Guest PooBear Posted December 18, 2003 Report Posted December 18, 2003 Orange replaced mine with no probs but then i did tell the operator that i thought the making a humming sound like it was going to explode. Delivered next day...
