Sidekick LX backlight wont light up

I have a sidekick LX which i was trying to clean the screen for. I successfully cleaned it but in the proccess of putting it back together I guess something went wrong. When the phone came on I saw the display but the backlight never comes on. At first I thought my screen went bad so i bought another used sidekick LX with a working screen.I then swapped my screen with the working sidekicks screen and it worked on it! So it looks like the motherboard on my sidekick is bad for giving backlight. Is there any way to fix the backlight problem?

    Which connectors? Which connector on a sidekick LX is it that gives it the back light? Im pretty sure everything is connected right there isnt much to connect/disconnect from the screen to the phone.

You will have to take it to your nearest T-Mobile store. Some stores are now setup as replacement centers as long as you have insurance for your phone. Check for locations on www.t-mobile.com

Whats wrong with my sidekick lx trackball?

More than likely, the trackball on your Side LX is really dirty. Over time, dirt and grime gets in between the ball and the sensors.

It is really easy to clean it, you will need q-tips and IPA alcohol.
