First set the time to what you want (1 minute, or whatever). Then go into your Registry:

HKCU\Control Panel\Backlight\LockLevel\LockLevel - the dWord there should be 0. I've found it set to 1 or 2, for no apparent reason.

This still happens to me periodically, and I've had my TP2 for over a year. Very frustrating, but at least it's easily fixed.

See if this works for you.

It was set to 6 and I just reset it to 0 and did a soft reset. It seems to be ok now and I will keep an eye on it to see if it returns.

That's one out of two issues that are hopefully resolved. The other one is my battery life issue which coincided with this backlight problem.
