Im having this problem now. Its like using a macbook on minimum brightness. I cant see anything. I tampered with hardware and voided warranty (technically) but apply doesnt know that. What can I tell them in order to get it replaced. I cant have them open the device or they will notice removed void sticker.

ok, you won't believe it... I turned my phone off after I decided that I couldn't figure out how to fix it. Now (1 hr later), I turned it on... and the LED works!

But... before posting my original post, I did of course try to turn it off... and turned it back on again (I could see the faint "apple logo" loading)... now same thing happened, only it was a bright white apple logo.

Maybe this LED just needs to take a break once in a while?

thanks i was thinking about restoring it then i kept reading and shut it off for about 10-15 mins then it worked again. thnx
