The fact that you are pressing the brighness (up button I am guessing) and it comes back on, may indicate the bright down button is stuck or by pure chance you are pressurising the board in that area causing a bad contact to work, such as power to the backlight or pressure on the ribbon cable.

The solution is to perform a "hard" reset after fully charging the internal batteries, and then install the service packs, software updates and user software.
