Does the brightness adjustment seem to work over its whole range?
You may have a fault in the fluorescent lamp power supply that illuminates the screen.

I have a 292mhz Wallstreet. Occasionally, the screen just goes blank...and
I don't mean sleeping. When its sleeping, the little power light flashes,

When it does this, I can't get it to come back on (the screen), but I know
things are going on as it still makes all the sounds and such. I used to do
a forced reset, but today I pressed the power button once, heard the hard
drive rattle, so I was assuming it was the 'are you sure you want to
shutdown' message, hit the left arrow key and then <enter> and it did in
fact shut down, so at least I don't have to hard reset it anymore.
Anyway, does anyone know what causes this, for the screen to just go blank
and not come back? After it reboots, it's fine. But it seems to do this
about every other day and is kind of annoying. Sometimes it's after I have
closed it and it goes to sleep, then later I will open it up, hit the
spacebar and nothing...sometimes it works fine and wakes up.
Today, I had just woken it up from sleep, looked away for a minute, looked
back and it was blank again...hit the spacebar, nothing.
Any ideas or suggestions? I'm running OS X.2.8. With 512Mb RAM.
