Well, I can't imagine what you could do to brick it. I've done some stupid stuff cooking my own roms, and everytime managed to get back to a working rom. I think cooking your own is very intimidating the 1st time. Once you've done it, it's pretty simple.
I'm actually working on putting a Dummies Guide to Cooking.
Nothing special really. Just using the kitchen and the bare minimum to cook a simple rom.
Once you do the 1st one, adding other OEM's or making your own OEM's can be tackled a little easier.

I posted this on another forum, and I think I found the info somewhere on PPCGeeks.
Anyways try this.

There is actually a very easy fix for this, although it does not make sense why it fixes it.

Go to the Backlight screen.
Set your battery power time to whatever you want. (i.e. 1min, 2min, etc.)

Then you need to make a change to the registry.

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/Backlight

There is a folder called LockLevel
Rename the folder to LockLevelx (the "x" can be any number or letter)
Then restart the device.

Basically, renaming the folder does not fix the problem, but forces WM5 to remake the folder.
For some reason, when it remakes the folder, the settings 'stick' and they stop resetting to 10secs.

The same result could probably be achieved by deleting "LockLevel", but I haven't tried deleting it yet.

I can say that the rename method worked for both my phone, and my wife's phone. Now I just have a folder called LockLevelx and a folder called LockLevel.
