Somewhere, over the rainbow
Recently, my late 2008 2.4GHz Macbook (Aluminum) has started having issues with the screen. When I boot up the computer, everything works as it should. If I put it to sleep for more than about an hour, however, when I return to it the backlight refuses to brighten. I can still faintly see things, like when I turn the brightness all the way off, but toggling the brightness buttons has no effect.

Restarting the computer returns it to normal behavior... until it goes to sleep again.
