Everything looks normal. Do you have any site that explains how to fix the blacklight?

I have no experience with backlights. Hopefully someone will read this and be able to help you out.

This may sound a silly question, but have you tried resetting settings just in case the backlight is set to off?
The manual tells you how.

Even if he had the backlight set to OFF in rockbox it would still light briefly during bootup when the gigabeat splash screen displays. It would also light up when the unit is turned off and the charger is plugged in.

He posted a topic in the Hardware forum reporting that there's a tear in the flexible printed cable that connects the LCD to the board. I think this is no longer an installation related issue.
