HELP ! My 1 week old Ipaq 2210 has no backlight!

Sounds like there's something fishy going on there.
You can try a soft-reset first, this will retain
all your data and programs. If this doesn't help
then a hard-reset might help.. but that will clean
your iPAQ of your data. You can find the procedure
for your particular unit in the manual which is
located on the companion cd. typically it involves
pressing certain buttons at the same time..
If this doesn't clear the problem then you'll
have to send your iPAQ in for repair at HP.

Glad it's working okay now, you're right about ActiveSync
backup not being enabled by default, this can be a pain
to discover at times like this..
