    I have a 1 month old lenovo y50, and whenever I touch the screen the backlight turns off. It has nothing to do with the backlight toggle. The only way I can turn it back on is apply a gentle twist to the screen until it turns back on. It was no problem until recently, It takes a lot longer to do and fails more. I think it might be the ribbon cable that connects the screen to the computer, but I don't want to risk voiding the warranty without other's insight. Any advice?

    Do not purchase your replacement screen from Displaysscreen.com! This company is dishonest. I purchased a replacement screen for my Lenovo Y50 laptop on 15 March 2016. When it arrived it had a sticker "Reliability Test Sample" This means that it is NOT NEW. It has probably been used for 100's of hours non-stop before being discarded by the manufacturer. It also flickers on and off regularly! The company claims to be located in Hong Kong (website) but they are actually located at: Liu Wei Room 313, FuYuan Building, NO.460 FanShen Road, BaoAn 45 District,Shenzhen 518000,Guangdong Province, China Tel: 13332992046 They even want YOU to lie when you return their merchandise. They want you to declare the value to be only $20, but they charge you $144USD! Disgraceful in any culture!
