Screen Problem

[Blcn]

Hi,

I bought an observer black about 3 and a half years ago. I've never had any problem with it, but yesterday the screen strated to fail. Numbers get crazy and fade, then the screen turns off. I've tried to replace the battery (although it was not showing "low battery warning") but it did not work.
The strange thing is that when the screen turns off, if I press a button sometime after, it turns on again, and continues to count the hour from the moment it stopped.
Any idea what this might be?

I'm from Brazil and I will only find authorized service far from my city, but if it's the only option I'll have to send it to them...

Regards
