    For the past 2-3weeks my screen will go in an out. if I tilt it to the right spot it will work fine again, leading me to believe it's some connection issue near the hinge. My tilt trick isn't working anymore and now it's just white
    Has anyone found a fix for this besides screen replacement?
    or there anything else it can be.

    Had something like this happen once when windex ran down under the bezel on my 4820TG. Waited a few hours and it went away. I wonder if you've got a piece of dust or something down in that area under the tape mucking things up. Wouldn't hurt to pull the bezel, peel back the tape and clean the area with alcohol and a horsehair brush just in case. Luckily, new screens aren't that expensive if you're out of warranty, and generally pretty easy to replace.

    It's also quite likely that it's a cable fault, not the LCD.
    It's up to you if you want to check it yourself or RMA the laptop.
    If part numbers are needed feel free to request them.
