I suggest reseating all the connectors related to the lights on the board, also check for dry solder joints, if in doubt about a solder joint dab a appropriate soldering iron on the joints in doubt
I've checked cables and connectors. I didn't think of dry solder joints but I did look at the board for anything obvious. I might have another look over the weekend. And I know my limits with a soldering iron. If I see anything, it will mean a visit to a neighbour.

When I bought the Glo, I was after the higher resolution screen (compared to the Touch) and I thought the light as an interesting gimmick. But, I have gotten used to reading in bed at night with the lights off. Since this happened, I have been reading with a room light on and have realised how much more comfortable I am when I don't have to worry about where the light is coming from.
