Hi All.

I recently bought a Beo6 on Ebay, unit is meant to be brand new.

Screen brightness seems a bit on the dimmer side. I do not have any other Beo6 to compare mine to, what i noticed is when i power it off and back on, first 1-2 seconds screen is nicely illuminated and bright and then goes dimmer and stays like this. Is this normal? can someone try this and let me no, powering it off and back on. Is there any hidden brightness module?

Another weird thing happens, when i connect it to a computer through USB, battery no matter how full it is is immediately drains down to 0% and asks to recharge. I did leave it on stand by for 3 days though and it kept charged, didn't drain.

Thanks,
Hani

Both are normal.

you can change the display dim settings in the menu, after pressing red+go
It discharges completely after downloading a config from your pc. After a few minutes charge however you are able to dowload again. It is a bit of a hassle though.
