My guess it is a software glitch more than a hardware issue.

It could be just a software glitch, but it could also be the CCFL power supply circuit. Depending on the power supply's design, in case of a fault or overload, it either shuts down and stays off (as in your case) or it repeatedly tries to restart (which is far more stressful on components).
When you perform a reset, it would cycle the power to the CCFL power supply and hence it will try to start up again, in which case it may be able to start up normally.
This shouldn't really happen in normal operating conditions.
