I've run a Duo board in a dock completely naked. Just literally sticking it 
on the docking connector. Maybe not the best idea, but it works.

Check and see if you can barely see anything. I have a 2300 board that 
doesn't light up the backlight. Haven't really figured out what to do yet, 
I may try wiring up a manual bypass. Since I have a fully functional 2300c, 
and still prefer my 280c, haven't been terribly antsy to mess with it.
