Laptop turns on, screen glitches out, then goes completely black.

Hi,

It appears that it may be either a faulty LVDS cable between the motherboard and the screen, a loose connection between the cable and the motherboard or the screen or a faulty screen.

Try gently moving the lid back and forth or try pressing on the left hinge (I think) to see if you can make the screen turn on or not. The LVDS cable passes through the hinge to get from the motherboard to the display unit and sometimes it can be damaged here.

Here’s is a link to a video that shows how to replace the screen in your laptop.

If it is determined that the problem is the LCD screen, usually the part number for the screen is stamped on the back of the screen itself.

Search online using the part number only in the search term to find suppliers of the part.

Here’s a link to just one supplier. It is only shown to give an idea of what the part costs and also to show that there is more than one type of screen available.
