    This seems to be a common problem. Take it back to Verizon for a replacement. I had the same thing happen to mine last July.

    Just a shot in the dark, but toggle the lock switch on/off a few/bunch of times and see if it wakes it it up.

    Happened to me as well. I have only had my storm since August this year, screen went blank a couple weeks ago. Tried several battery pulls, toggled lock, tried whatever I could think of, nothing worked. Took it back to Verizon, tech looks at it, says "Well, I can tell you didn't drop it", orders me a replacement. I got a refurb in 2 days loaded with latest OS. I must say, the replacement works better than the original I had. Screen clicks much better in corners & is consistent. Free memory is higher than I had with original after upgrade to latest OS, even though I restored the exact same apps.

    My screen goes blank every once in a while, just for like 2 or 3 seconds. Only happens when after the screen turns off after inactivity, and I touch the screen to turn it on and its blank, but it comes back. Could that be a sign its starting to fail? I've had my storm since June.
