Just happened again today for me, twice in a row. I was playing a game, then set it down when I got distracted. The backlight wouldn't come on at all with the hard key. Kept saying I need to turn on the backlight when I pressed the Power key.

I took out the battery to reset it, but soon as it loaded and went to sleep. Wouldn't wake up again.

It is really a hardware issue? I didn't have any problems for the past couple of months prior to flashing the 6.5 update.
