Soft Key lights blinked now are off This morning my softkey lights started blinking and just wentoff..When i press them, they work, they just aren't on.I turned phone off/on and get the same thing. Any ideas? I mean they work and i know where they are so it's not that big of a deal, but i would rather have them working then not working.

any ideas?

I take it my mod didn't fix your issue. Sounds like a hardware problem, take the phone to the corps store
 
@v superuser v Do you think if I go to the corp store they are going to give me a refurbished phone?? (My phone works great and I don't have the reboot issue so I don't want to get a phone that has the soft keys on but reboots constantly.) and since they don't sale the LG esteem do you think they will give me a LG connect????

No, theyll give you a refurb esteem. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. With ZVD the reboot issue is gone on 99.99% of the phones, so you shouldn't be concerned about that
 
My menu and home soft keys are on now but the search and back are off I'm just going to wait for another week and see what happens and if they don't light up then yea I'm gonna have to take it to the Corp store... do you know how much you pay to get a refurbished phone??
 
If the lights are the only thing thats not working and the phone is in great shape, I wouldn't take it in for a refurb one. It's just the soft key lights.
 
@fuzzy13 Yea i know but i want them to work because at night i cant see them???? im still thinking if i should go????

Right, but it's not like you dont know where they are. Plus its 4 buttons. Im just saying it isn't worth it to me, to get someone elses refurbished phone.

Plus that's one less thing draining the battery. ;)

I would wait it out if your dead set on swapping it out. I dont see why they wouldn't be working for no reason. Might come back on and stay on.
 
@Fuzzy13 yea I'm just going to wait.. plus I'm getting really good battery when I go to sleep I still have like 40%...

I think that's your best bet. Getting a refurb isn't too bad, as most the ones Ive seen are in good shape, but you have to wait and you will have to pay the deductible. Not worth it to me just for the lights.

But maybe they will start back working. I would try to use process of elimination and change whatever you changed before they stopped working. If you changed anything for that matter. Just a thought.
