A backlight probably wont be very feasible, however you can frontlight it and connect it with a switch so it wont be on 24/7.

@Benol: Your grammar correction BS is getting annoying. Not everyone is perfect (including you) and writes perfectly. Besides, this is a forum, not an english class.

EDIT:

rules 5.0 wrote:4. Grammar and spelling. Honestly, no one wants to read a truckload of letters that were misplaced in attempt to create some sort of words. With that said, please try to keep somewhat of a structure to your posts. This does not mean you have to be a perfect typist or an English professor, it just means that you have to be able to type across your ideas so others can understand them. If typing in all lowercase is your thing and occasionally using chat lingo - that's fine. Just as long as you're sure others have no problem with it. Please do not moderate grammar and spelling as if you're a major or something. No one cares how well you can catch other people's errors - and it makes you look arrogant - not worth it!

You are full of win

Anyway I dont think backlighting it would be too good of an idea unless you had already modded it to run off AA's it would die in like an hour.

I think it would wash the screen out, the screen only shows blue blocks on a grayish yellow background, and has horrible battery life. What do you need a back light for O.o

Guys rules are clear about grammar and spelling so stop arguing about. Get the thread back on track or it's going to be locked.

As for front lighting the VMU, you should see about finding the smallest white LED you can, see its bright enough. After that you might have to mod the case a little as you want majority of the light from the LED going to the screen and not have it shine like a flash light back at you. So you might want to look into bondo.
