My iPod touch 3 keeps returning to the lock screen

My ipod touch freaks out whenever I am using it. When i press the lock screen to lock it and turn the backlight out it does that and then lights back up and goes back and forth between the two for a while. Even if i am using the ipod it keeps locking and going dark then lighting back up as if i had pressed the button again. It is in great condition, i rarely drop it and its always in a rubber case. Please help!

Try:

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

- Reset all settings

Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

- Restore from backup. See:

iOS: How to back up

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
