Backligth on wh-1080

Post by sm0hxb »

Hello
Does anyone know if you can get the backlight on a WH-1080 to light all the time when it is connected to the computer?
Or if there is any other way to get the backlight on the display to light up all the time.

Regards

Göran, do a search of the forum, there was a thread some time ago about mods to make the backlight come on all the time - note that people seemed to think it affected the indoor temperature and pressure readings.

HI Mark
I have already done a search but not found anything on this.
I'll try to search with some different keywords.

Thank's

Hi,

Yes it (and various comments) are also referred to on page 10 (and earlier) in this sticky.

Cheers, Alan.
