    Hey guys.. right now the screen is fine
    sometimes though it flickers and if i move the screen around it can completely turn off.. upon reboot it is fine though

    or sometimes a reboot isnt even needed just smashinf fn + f5 or fn + f6 can fix it (itll flash for a sec or two.. turn off but if i persist it comes back on)

    Do you guys think it is a wire problem or the screen is failing?
    thanks

    If you can move the screen and the display goes off then it sounds like something physical such as wire/flexiprint etc or bad connection. I doubt its the screen as such...
