Help Touch works while display doesn't!

Hi There,

I have a weird issue with my samsung i9100's display. A couple of weeks ago, the screen started to go black randomly, usually after getting it out of my pocket. Display could go back to normal after opening battery cover, removing the buttery and booting the mobile. But most of the time it would work on it's own!

At first a suspected a software issue (e.g BSOD) because I was installing a nighty Cyanogenmod rom.
I wiped everything and installed a stable CM mod, the issue was still happening. Re-installed the stock rom but that didn';t help either.
I noted couple of things:
1- The occurrence of that issue was becoming more frequent. Started from once per day to always black.
2- While the screen is black, the soft keys are lit!
3- While the screen is black, touch works fine. E.g. with some luck I could unlock the phone, answer calls
