Default Wet pearl, now works... Except keyboard light?

Please Login to Remove!

I my pearl fell into the ocean.... (Not literally, it's just an ironic thought), I let it dry, and everything works. It starts up a little slow, but there's just two curiosities. The first is that the green light on the top stays on, and network coverage indicator is turned off. The next is that the light behind the trackball/keyboard won't turn on. Is there any way to replace that light, or am I basically screwed?

Welcome to the forums.

How long did you let it dry?

It may be too late but take a look here: Got Your BlackBerry Wet? - BlackBerryFAQ

2-3 days. But is there no way just do disassemble the device and change whatever lights up the keyboard?

By popular demand, an update! Excuse the copy and paste

Whenever I turn the phone on, the light behind the trackball and the keyboard lights up, but no matter what when the hourglass stops turning, I can't seem to get the backlight to turn back on! typing and even covering the LED doesn't work! Am I missing some sort of setting, or maybe a hard reset's in order?
