X9i Turns itself off

[MajorAdams]

I purchased my X9i at an AAFES in Bagram Afghanistan in September 2006 and it has been giving me fits for the last three months. Even on a full charge I will occassionally look at my wrist and the display is blank just like when it came out of the box new. If I reconnect the power cable to the watch it immediately turns back on and still has a full battery charge. The time and alarms however must all be reset.

Any ideas?

I used to have the same problem. The unit goes off at unexpected moments. Then I searched hard for an answer. Then I found it. The backlight "night" mode was on when I had the fits. I turned it to normal, then the fits were gone.
