the bug is clarified a bit.
Actually once the the screen's backlight if off thanks with Fn+F4, it should
come back on by pressing any key BUT not when moving the mouse. but sometimes
(i can't tel when exactly) the screen's backlight gets on when the mouse is
moved. In this latter case if i press any key the screen becomes blank, but the
backlight on. I can actually get back the screen as normal, i.e. not blank by
switching off the backlight again (Fn+F4) and then getting it back on by
pressing any key (unless i'm unlucky, it works). actually that's why i
decreased the degree of severity of the bug report.

what annoys me with this bug is that It adds up the number of switch off to on
sequences. This reduces the lifespan of the tube.
