[Q] G1 Hardware problem?

[schmao]

I have a g1 that is about 3 years old or so, and I am having a problem. When the phone is booted up and the screen is off, pressing the power button will turn the screen on, but the back light is off and the phone is unresponsive. If I lock the phone again and unlock it by pushing up the keyboard, the backlight works and the screen works too. If I slide the keyboard down, the back light goes and phone becomes unresponsive. The only way to get the backlight back on is to lock the phone, and unlock it by sliding up the keyboard. I realized that when the back light is off and the phone seems unresponsive (keyboard closed), the touches and button presses are actually recorded, because when I slide the keyboard up, the presses and touches are carried out as they were put in (even though the back light stays off). This has been happening for a few months now. Any ideas?
