Fixing the backlight timeout

This happened to me too but I finally figured out what causes it and how to fix it...

Cause (for me at least) was when I had the 6700 in my jeans pocket instead of a jacket... Apparently the right combination of buttons pressed on the front resets the backlight (And the screen calibration)... My prevent fix is not to put the PDA in my pocket anymore...

Cure is to go in the resistry in BOTH the HKLM and HKCU areas for the ControlPanel/Backlight/BatteryTimeout and change both values to something like 300 (10 minutes)... You might also need to change the LockLevel in both place to 0, but I forget.... Let us know if this helps...
