I've never known a reset to fix this problem.

rab everything but the backlight is working. It costs nothing to try my way. You didn't even offer a fix. And you got another up vote, amazing.

I've seen/heard this problem across iPods too many times to count, it's always the logic board. Plus, it's obviously a hardware issue, so a software fix won't work.

That's usually a logic board problem, which unfortunately, is very difficult and expensive to replace, often not worthwhile. You may want to try replacing the display, but I doubt it would help you.
