    Might be a loose lcd cable. I sugest calling your supplier(the guys who sold you the laptop) to ask how to fix it either yourself or send it back for repairs.

    It sounds like maybe a bad connection to the screen somewhere? If you can open up the area under and above the keyboard, you may be able to tighten the cable to the screen (LCD cable).

    It`s not like it needs repairing if it`s just an lcd cable. It just needs to be properly inserted. PM GOPHN from the forum, he know more about how to do this..
