My screen goes blank for days, then shows. maybe for minutes of seconds. Do I need to replace the screen, or is there a control I can try to bring back the display? The phone is charged and rings. Yours is a wonderful website. Thank you.

My screen goes blank for days, then appears, but only for minutes or seconds before it goes blank again. Do I need to replace the screen, or do you know if there a command which would solve the problem? The phone is charged and rings.
