Has anyone experienced a muted screen. Characters are still visible but only just. The unit doesn't fire all the time as well. I recharged the batteries and it seems the same!
Any suggestions?

Jethro, I think there is a screen brightness function on the SB800, try that but I don't think that is it, sounds like batteries, I would try a different set.
Does it happen both on and off camera?
Glen it happens both on and off. New batteries maybe the go. Im still trying to get my head into this rather intense manual. Maybe there is a brighter lcd setting. I have noticed it goes into standby very quickly.
Jethro shoot it real.
look! and see. Shoot and feel
Jethro, mine goes into stand by very quickly too - there must be a significant difference in drain when it is not on stand by.

The time-out to standby mode is a custom setting and can be changed on the settings menu on the SB-800.
Press on the SEL button for 2 seconds to activate the settings menu, then scroll down until you see the Standby icon... it can be set to Auto, 40s, 80s, 100s or 300s While you're on the settings menu scroll down further and you will see the icon for the LCD - you can change the brightness here... Cheers, John

Yer, and to backup what John (Leek) said, the 'Auto' setting for standby switches the SB800 off the same time as the camera's metering shuts off (default 6 seconds IIRC), hence the 'very quickly' experienced.
