    nope, nothing in the top half turns on. I'm just hoping it's because it's being run from batteries.

    had a same problem with a GT before. the neon lamp needs about 100VAC to light. therefore a device on the board does chop and step-up the DC voltage to around 100VAC.
    there could be two reason why the backlight doesn't work. the device has a malfunction or the lamp is broken due to its age. or just as you said, the battery can't provide enough power.
