Sounds like its been damaged, perhaps by water.
You're pretty much looking at a repair job I think.

May have gotten slightly wet but surprising such a little moisture could do that. Anyway to dry out?

Try placing the phone in a bag of rice for 24 hours, that'll remove any moisture. Failing that, a repair shop.

Nah, I doubt that's the cause in your case, I just saw it happen before when a friend's iPhone 4 took a bath.

Might be a bit late for drying, depending, but either way I think there's some electrical malfunction or something.

Ok thanks. I wonder if its gonna burn out the light bulb...ita just the small one, not the big xenon light

Strange. I let the battery die all the way to shutoff. And then let it sit for hours. The light stayed on! I guess this 1020 has a heck of a deserve battery...hoping someone has an idea on how to get it off..

It's certainly possible, depending on the hardware. I've seen warnings on some phones (like a Galaxy) to not leave it on above half-an-hour or something like that.

But either way, something's broke inside.
