Just the fact that the backlight goes on and off for no reason points to a hardware problem. Even if you have the brightness dimmed all the way it should never look like that-laptop lcd's are built to always be on to some degree, but never be off unless laptop is turned off or lid is shut.
I would say your backlights are fine, but the small board embeded within the base of the LCD that converts the voltage to a usable charge may be malfunctioning. Email me the make and model of your laptop. I can find the backlite spare parts on the net and give you the web address. You can take this information to a PC Repair store and tell them to order the part and replace it.

i think your screen is busted, theres no setting to turn a backlight on or off im afraid.
Look on the HP/Compaq help pages for any info
