I started having this issue when I updated to Windows 8.1. I assume it's a faulty driver or somesuch.

I did, but only after updating to 8.1 Windows. However, it stopped doing it. I don't know why, maybe an another update went out, but it's fine now.

It was a faulty graphics driver with the 8.1 upgrade. If you launch system updates from the control panel, there should be a new graphics driver waiting to be installed.

Hasn't been a problem for me but the more I read, the more I see owners having 'issues' with power-related matters (not fully charging, etc.). The battery on the unit itself seems to perform well under stated times and (for me) is slow to recharge. Good luck with it.

I'm not sure if I have ever put mine in standby mode and I don't have the camera in front of me. I find the camera to be a good one so far. I would power it down, take out the battery, then replace it back, power up and hopefully it will release the stand by mode for you.... You have to remember it is like a small computer, and someties you need to take the power completelt off when it locks up.

My backlight lights with every push of any button. I would say your phone is faulty. I am not an expert so don't take my opinion to seriously.RegardsJohn

I have this lamp for a few months & have not experienced the problem that you mention. I have unplugged it on occasion & no problem when plugging it back in. When I saw your note I unplugged the lamp & then plugged it back in & it went right on.

If you look at power save options you can adjust the brightness I believe. I had similar issues, but the brightness is usually enough in power save mode that I don't have an issue with it.

I'm not 100% sure what you mean by standby mode. On mine if I want to see if it is connected I look at my phone. On my android the bluetooth icon will be blue, and on my iPhone it will show the bluetooth icon as connected.On the IOgear itself it will blink blue every 15-30 seconds or so if it is on and will have no lights if it is off.

I can't say I've left it in standby from a full charge till it has died, but overnight drop in standby was pretty high. Probably between 15-20% drop. I think the worst I have seen it was close to 35% drop one night. I mostly just shut down if I know I am not going to be using it for extended periods because the boot up time is so fast. probably under 20 seconds max.

Manufacturer indicated the design was changed so batteries no longer run down when unit looks like it is off. This change happened May 2015. Also, the unit has two modes. If you turn it on and just tap the power button it goes through the cycle of different light patterns. You could leave it in this mode and batteries most likely will run down. If you hold power button down until lights go out, and tapping the button does not change light patterns, then the unit is really off. This is what I learned from manufacturer and from testing the unit.

I have had one for quite a while and I have never had it enter standby. There is a standby mode you can manually actuate from the remote, and you can completely turn it off by using the power button at the unit

It appears the backlighting is disabled (no light even pressing the 'sun' symbol) until the keyboard is paired with the ipad although the keyboard has been turned on & before pairing the devices? Please confirm if this's defective? Thank you.

I've seen mine do that. I think it might have something to do with not using it for a long time. Then if you do somethingwith it, it will go back to full brightness. I supose it has to do with saving battery life. Though running it on the car batterythis wouldn't make much sense. That's the best I can come us with.

Light stays on when the ps4 is on standby and on mode, only turns off is ps4 is off or if you unplug the usb.

The backlight is not always on when you push a button. I think it is designed this way. It all depends on the light condition. If it's bright enough, like during the day, the backlight won't turn on. There's a small light sensor on the top left corner of the LCD display which will detect the outside brightness condition, if it finds outside is too dark, it will turn on the backlight when you press a button. Hope this will help.

Unless your hitting a button your not doing anything wrong.the whole system Turning completely off? Or just the screen. If it's the screen go to your settings and fix sleep timer. If the whole system is shutting down send it back. You've figured out that it's junk. I bought my daughter this for her birthday and 2 weeks later it started having problems. Screen going out. Running slow etc. Mine was refurbished though. So I thought that was the problem but apparently not. Because many are complaining about the same problem you are having and I had. Good luck to you.

I just received mine yesterday. The one I have has a backlit keyboard. When you first power on the device the keyboard backlight comes on, then after a moment or two of no use the light flashes briefly before then turning the backlight on. Just pressing keys does NOT turn the backlight on again. If you want the backlight again, there is a button on the side of the keyboard that lights the keyboard up again.

Rom, It is up to you. If I do not power it off by pushing the button, then when I turn off my PC it goes into stand-by mode and will automatically power back on when I turn the PC on again. I normally turn it off before powering my PC off, and so I need to turn it on again when turning my PC on again.Best,Chris

I have more of a backlight issue when viewed from off angle. There is a white fuzzy band of excess brightness on the right 1/8 of screen, that washes out the color. is this similar to your set?
