... He probably means that his backlight isn't as bright as it used to be. Maybe an LED went out or something.

One of two things: 1. You accidentally turned down your brightness setting 2. Your good old DS phat is finally having some tech errors and the LED backlight is burning out

DS Phats don't have brightness settings. If you mean turning it off, yes that's possible. Try going onto the menu and clicking the sun/moon in the left/right corner (bottom). That's how you turn the backlight on or off. :)

Well then that's what I meant, I haven't used the DS Phat since mine broke in half a few years ago.
