Backlight on keypress broken.

The 7.60 firmware version and the couple of beta versions before this has broken my backlight on keypress - either during activity or outside one. Can anyone verify that they have the same problem please. Anyone had the issue but fixed it?

Mine is working

Works fine for me under 7.60.

At the risk of pointing out the obvious, have you checked the backlight settings (eg. after sunset).

Double checked and toggled through various permutations but still no luck.

System -> Backlight -> [During activity | Not During Activity] -> keys on

The backlight works but only in response to the light button so a software issue but I really don't want a reset for this.

I have the same backlight issue. The 7.60 upgrade broke my backlight based on gestures and key press. It only works now when I press the light button.

Check your “Do not dusturb” settings.

It is NOT the "do not disturb" setting. Thank you for the suggestion though.

It is a duplicate of the broken gesture issue https://forums.garmin.com/forum/on-the-trail/wrist-worn/fenix-5x/1298509-fenix-5x-firmware-7-60-seems-to-break-backlight-gesture

This is now fixed after a factory reset. I backed up all my files and I can reproduce the problem by restoring my settings.fit file. So I think one of the beta versions running up to 7.60 did something odd.
