Earlier my v3i went blank with a white screen when I was exiting a picture that a friend texted me. The little screen on the front shows everything like normal, my background, time etc, and I can switch the ring mode using the side buttons, but when I open the phone the inside screen is either blank or lit up white, depending on whether or not the front screen is lit up or not. Also the keypad is not lit up and none of the buttons work. I was assuming that it was a physical problem with the phone, but then I plugged it into my computer and I was able to use the power button to turn it on. The keypad lit up very dimly, the start up screen plays, and then the screen goes blank again and the keypad is dead again. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

k. and as time goes on I've realized that if I leave it alone for a few hours, I can open it up and have full functionality for about 5 seconds before the keypad dies again and the screen goes blank again

I've tried plugging it into the wall and the computer. In the wall it says it's charging on the little screen on the front but my keypad is completely dead so I can't start it, and the big screen is blank. If I plug it into the computer it again says that it's charging but it'll let me use the power key to turn it on and it shows the welcome screen before the keypad goes dead and the screen goes blank again. I turned it on this morning with it plugged into the computer and took it to work and school with me all day and it held a charge. Right now it's just an expensive watch that tells me when someone wants to get in touch with me.
