And on my PW3, I FINALLY got the touchscreen to work long enough to test the brightness slider AND the "-" button. Then polling that location posted above, it was ONE, not ZERO, and in a really dark room I could see it was still (barely) lit. Poking a ZERO in there definately turned the frontlight ALL THE WAY OFF (just like we did for the PW1 original firmware, but a different location)...

So if your frontlight LEDs really DO turn off with that '-' button, you can see easily with the front bezel off. None of my PW kindles ever did what you describe, as I recall...
