I have an original Droid. While booting up the backlight is bright but right before it enters the OS, right when the buttons light up and you feel the vibrator bump, the backlight dims. You can slightly adjust it in the display settings but it is too dim to use. I've tried 2 stock roms and a custom one with the same result. The backlight is very bright when booting and in recovery. Anyone run across this before?

When I got it yesterday it was running an older stock rom. There was a system update which I assume replaced it with a newer rom. There were several reset/wipes along the way. It is currently running Steel Droid.
Nope, just in my office with the lights out.

No, I had the issue with stock rom as well.
no it is used. I loaded CM7 and it still does it. Must be hardware. I have no idea what though.

Try loading an SBF that is pure stock - that will replace all files, including possible scripts that the previous user might have had on there that made the screen dimmer than it is supposed to be....
Although loading a ROM should have taken care of anything like this, you never know....
