please do me a favor and look at your screen in a really really dark room. Does it emit any light? Mine, if I cover the clock with my hand, the rest of it emits a slight, really dim light. Which I really don't know what it is. I suppose it is some voltage required to pass through the TFT film under the LEDs and makes them shine a little. The question is does it glow when the screen is not off but all black?
