Garmin iQue M3 Backlight issue

[hoffm11]

I am having an annoying issue with my iQue M3. When I turn it on, the backlight is turned off. The backlight feature isn't available in the setting either. Anyone have this issue and can help me?

Try holding down the power button for a few seconds. Under WM2003SE, the default response for that is to toggle the backlight on and off.

Thanks. I did try this and still doesn't work

Here is a solution that works on my Garmin iQue M5. Maybe it will also work with the M3.
Master Menu:"Settings"
On settings select "System"
On System select "Backlight"
On Backlight select "Brightness"
On Brightness select "Battery Power"
On Battery Power check the box "Turn on backlignt when button is pressed or the screen is tapped"
Select "internal Power" and check the same box as above
Select "Brightness" and scroll brightness to desired level.

I hope this works for you.
