This was on 5G iPod. Go into LCD Settings. Ensure "Sleep (After Backlight Off)" has a timeout and set Backlight to Off. Wait for LCD to shut off. Now you can't turn on the LCD! That is the problem. The device-independent code should probably directly turn on both the LCD and backlight, according to settings. So, if backlight is off but the LCD has a timeout, the it should only turn on the LCD. This is not a feature I ever plan to use though because without the backlight the device becomes unusable in the dark.
