The question is does it glow when the screen is not off but all black?

Hi again, i was going to comment that and i saw you already discovered it. Tonight after i did the mod i went to the bed with my room completely dark, and i did the test. With the clock black, you have no clue where it is in the screen, but a very very dim light can be seen all over the screen. If I turn off the standby screen option again, the screen goes completely neutral with no light at all.

So yes, there's a voltage source going through the screen, and maybe a little amount of power is consumed after all. I don't like that either, so i'm going to set the clock white again and leave it off. It would be awesome if someone could find the way of making the screen completely off until a message or call arrives.

EDIT: Maybe the white LED in the lower left corner of the screen could be used as a call/message reminder, just like the one in the 5800/5230, that would be interesting!

Thanks for the help!
Humberto
