Why has my backlight stopped working?

leigh, that could be corrosion damage, a short circuited LCD or coil. Start by cleaning the phone using this guide. It was written for a 3G but will pertain to your phone as well. After that reevaluate. If you still hav nothing, you may need to replace your LCD or your coil. Check the traces on the logic board as well. If you need to replace anything , I'd start with the LCD unless you are handy with a soldering iron. Hope this helps, good luck
