Blacked Out The Screen on my V3c

I've been looking for a while now in a truckload of forums so I apologize if this problem has been explained before.

I just got a Motorola V3c from verizon and I could swear they gave me the wrong manual for it. The thing is I accidentally turned off the screen the same day I bought it, trying to do exactly the oposite, keep it on for longer time. I know exactly what I did but I can't do it reverse if I'm not looking at the menu, and the manual doesn't have a complete guide to how to enable/disable it again (nor the manual I downloaded from several pages).
So if anyone would explain step by step how to blindingly enable the screen and backlight I'd be must obliged.
thanx.

Apreciate it but that's not helping me a lot since I already downloaded the manual, and tried doing it blind. What I need is a step-by-step guide.
I would rather not have to hook it up with my pc since it's a new device and I know jack about modding.

Got it
How to Blindly Master Reset/Clear V3c
1- Be sure to have it on the Start Screen sometimes is required to input the unlock code after turning it on or after it has been auto locked.
2- OK button, that is the center button, to open the Main Menu.
3- DOWN on the 4-way navigational keys.
4- LEFT on the 4-way nav keys.
5- CENTER KEY or OK button.
6- DOWN, five times on the 4-way nav keys
7- CENTER KEY
8- UP on the 4-way nav keys. (that's ONE time for Master Clear and TWO times for Master Reset)
9- CENTER KEY (OK Button)
10-Now enter the 6-digit Security Code
11-Left soft Key, TWO times. The first time to confirm the code and the second to confirm Master Clear/Reset.
Done!

Had I known that you wanted to perform a "Master Reset" and not a "step-by-step instruction on how to enable the screen" I would've told you to connect to your comp and run Smartmoto and yes I do know that you said that you didn't want to connect to a comp because you're not modding literate but all you would've had to do in Smartmoto is press the "Master Reset" button and a few seconds later....Done.

Well thanx anyway.
I just didn't even know that a Master Reset would've re-enabled my screen, a friend I got in contact with by email was the one to tell me and give me the instructions since he also got a V3c at hand at the moment. Sorry for not well explaining myself , and thanx again for busting your(s) ***(es), now I know two ways to get there.
