Since Nintendo support is limited to A: "Try restarting" or B: "It's broken, buy a new one.", I'll see if any of you fine Nintendo connoisseurs have a clue about what's going on with my flipping gamepad.
It just returned from a repair workshop for a LCD screen replacement. Before I got it fixed, the screen was broken but the gamepad was still fully functional. Once it got back everything worked fine - for a day or two. Now, the gamepad generally doesn't turn on. But after a while, after turning everything on and off 10-20 times, it randomly works again.
I can (usually) turn on the CONSOLE with the gamepad, but the gamepad itself remains off.
Sometimes when I try to turn on the gamepad, the light flashes blue and then fades.
Not a battery issue, because when I randomly manage to turn it on, I can play just as long as I could before with a fully charged gamepad.
Screen is not broken, because when I randomly manage to turn it on, it just works fine.
As I was typing this, my girlfriend seems to have found a makeshift fix. She turns the console on with the gamepad, then goes to the home menu, followed by pressing the sync button on the console and then on the gamepad. That sync thingamajig pops up where you have to input 4 symbols to finalize the synchronization. After this, the gamepad works fine until we turn the console off. She's also been able to reproduce the results.
Any ideas?

I would take/send it back to the repair workshop. It sounds like they've mucked it up somehow when they took it apart for the repair.
