Does anybody know how to fix the classic protable Epson HX-20?

This is my part of collections, I know it's work fine before. When I tried to
switch on the machine last week, (it was after 15 hrs charged), the LCD didn't
show up and there was no response on the contrast wheel. But I still tried to
key in something, like "SOUND 10,10" and "LPRINT A", there was a beep sound and
the text printed from the mini-printer. Then I plug in the AC adapter again
and tried to switch 'on and off' many times on the startup switcher, the LCD
worked again. At that time I thought the problem is solved.

After one day later, the problem happened again, I needed to switch on and off
many times to make the machine wake up. I am sure the machine is work on the
first switch, because the computer responded my key strokes but the LCD still
sleep.

Really want to know what's happened on this machine and how to check/fix it?

Thanks
