Well actually I have managed to done a soft reset when I have had the problem. (Easier thah start>settings>backlight> etc in the dark) and it still didn't come on.
When I have had the problem moving the slider usually works but I have had times when it hasn't.
That being said since being careful with it I have not had the problem (that a couple of power cycles couldn't support anyway) so maybe it was me holding the power switch in.
I don't actually want to return it to Compaq as they seem to have a rep for dropping machines and not quite fixing it so you stuck in a cycle like your three times. The warranty will run out around the end of December I think so I'm going to keep an eye on it.
Anybody know if HP limits carepaqs to new purchases or can I just buy one now?
