Does anyone have an Epson Equity LT? 4.77/10 Mhz 8086, 640K, 20 MB
hard drive, 1 floppy, EL backlit display, and a decent keyboard. A
friend just bought one, for $999, and has a problem with the
backlighting.
The backlight is supposed to turn off after a timeout period (default 2
minutes) of no keyboard activity, and turn back on after any key is
hit. However, her machine turns off the backlight after two minutes
even if the keyboard is in use, and does not turn back on unless the
machine is rebooted. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is it
an error in the setup, or is the machine defective? (I'm leaning
toward defective, and will recommend that she exchange the machine
unless we can figure out what's wrong).
