Broken Pandora!

[coevin]

Hi I got my pandora today plugged it in and turned it on, but nothing. the red lint and green light is on and you can see a faint pandora logo but the screen is black like it's missing the backlight or something. Help?

1. Remove battery, unplug power.
2. Wait for at least one minute.
3. Put the battery in properly (follow the guide in the manual).
4. Plugin power.

No tried that you can see it starting up faintly on the screen, ie the pandora symbol but the screen is black except the faint logo. Could the back light be broke or is there a contrast button

It should have full brightness at this point. Sounds like LCD cable is not properly connected, you'll have to RMA.

You may be seeing the bug in http://bugs.openpandora.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=81, where the backlight was off when the device started.
He fixed it by logging in and pressing Fn+I. If this happened before you had the chance to set up a login, you could try reflashing the device by following the steps described in http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php...-and-password/page__view__findpost__p__858053.

Edit: actually, his turned black during the boot sequence. Listen to notaz.
