    I just got my new Droid X yesterday. So far I really like it. My previous phone was a Storm. This morning, not even 24 hours, my screen went all black. I can barely make out the outlines of widgets while tilting it in the light.

    I pulled the battery to reboot and still have the same problem. The screen is black. I can hear the audible sounds and the buttons light up. I can even take it off screen lock, but it's still black.

    It's a real bummer since I have to probably send it back for a replacement. I had updated it last night and only added a couple apps and removed some.

    It's pretty difficult to see to do a factory reset... I'll attempt it. I can barely see outlines on the screen.

    The backlight went out. Had the same problem with my 1st DX, As long as it wasn't water damage, they should replace it with no problem.
