If it goes dark that means there is hope. If it "is dark" then it needs repairs.

Repair?

If you have any warranty, then use it now. Otherwise, I suspect your backlight or converter is going out. Basically, the electronics that control the LCD is faltering. I don't believe this to be a s/w issue but rather a h/w one. Is the cost worth it to you? Yes/No, then call a service center or think replacement of system.
