Changing backight timeout on x51

Hi, I've just upgraded from an X5 to an X51 (the mid range 520Mhz version) running wm 2005. I was wondering if there is any way of stopping the screen backlight from going out after 30secs of inactivity. I've been in the power settings but can't find anything. The machine is not switching off, it still running, it's just the backlight is going off which is really annoying when reading ebooks and playing games. Thanks

The are a couple of ways to get to that.

One way, Start/settings/system/Power

at the bottom of the page it will say backlight

click on that and then you can change the various settings for brightness and time out for battery and on power.

It is in Brightness, not Power. Power controls shutting off of the device after xx amount of inactivity.

1. Start button
2. Settings
3. System
4. Brightness
5. Battery Power Tab/ External Power Tab
6. Uncheck the checkmark the appropriate tab.

*Box beat me to it. Same idea. My way is faster. :)
