Dark and blank screen

I am having a problem with the settings on my motorolla V3. Before I changed the settings, when I put the phone down the wallpaper would just be there lit up. Now, almost right away, the screen just becomes dark and I cant see the wallpaper. Is there a way to set it so it doesn't get dark. Bear with me, this is my first phone, so I think I'm looking for very basic info, but I appreciate any help you can give me.

Still having this problem? I think your thread got overlooked because it was in a different forum (oops) and I moved it to motorola after I found it, but it was a day or two old by then...

It sounds like the backlighting is set to stay on for a very short period of time.
