Probably a long (very long) shot but I purchased a 2004 at an estate several 
years ago. The 04 looked almost new and appeared to have been in storage for 
years. When I plugged it in everything worked great except the back light. I  
had used it as is for 7 or 8 months when I noticed that I suddenly had a very 
dim backlight. It then dawned on me that the backlight switch must have 
corroded over during the storage and wasn't making good contact, so I started 
working the switch on and off (would have used contact cleaner if the 
exercise didn't work) periodically for several days and the back light 
finally returned to full brilliance.

My 06 that I purchased new is just now getting dim but seriously doubt I'll 
get lucky on this one. :)
