Phone screen gone dark (1 Viewer)

[delia todd]

Earlier this morning my phone was working fine, having recharged it last night.

Without me doing anything to it, it's suddenly gone very dim, so I can hardly read the words on it. I've tried the side buttons but can't see what I'm doing, and both seem to only have the volume??

I've tried settings, but can't read the words on the screen.

It's either a bulb gone, or it's gone into night time mode, which I don't have set anyway. Just can't work out what to do with it. Maybe find someone with better eyesight than me LOL

Any ideas? It's maybe a rather old Huawei(sp) phone.

First... Turn it off and on again.

No, still comes back dark I'm afraid Butty

Every time this happens to my phone it's due to overheating, which may not be the case with yours. If it is feeling warm then allowing it to cool may be all that's needed.

Thanks T... well it feels warm, but not what I'd call hot.

But I'll leave it off for now and use my other phone. Don't get alerts and messages on there though.

Thanks again guys. I've got it sorted... so easy for someone who knows LOL.
