iPhone backlight blinks on then goes out. What are my options? This morning I woke up to find my iPhone dark. If I pressed the home button to turn on the screen, the backlight would flash on briefly and then die. I've turned it on and off, done a hard reboot (home+lock), and I'm in the process of trying a restore.

Has anyone ever seen a similar issue?

The phone was purchased last June with a contract from ATT from an Apple store. If I take the phone in, will they fix it or replace it?

What should I do next?
You should take your phone in. They will fix it if they can and it's cheaper for them than giving you a new.

If you try to fix it yourself they can put the blame on you, so don't touch the hardware.
