I might have the samme issue, but I can't see any backlight coming on, just the small blue LED underneath the TV (I have a different model).
See this thread, although there's no resolution:

Hi,
I have a TV in my bedroom and it turns on it's back-light and then turns it off after about a minute. It happens completely random. I am only noticing when it happens at night because it wakes me up. I called the technician and he said that he has no idea what is the problem and probably they will not be able to find it in the lab because the TV turns on only for very short period of time and it can happen once a day or once in several days.
The model is Samsung UE46ES6710 LED.
Did anybody encounter this problem/has any idea what the problem is?
Thanks.
