    When i power up my Satelite 110 i can here it beginning, but my screen remains blank. I have to move the lid up and down until it seems to suddenly flash up. If i move the screen slightly to get a better view i may loose the picture. Quite often i have to close the lid and reopen to flash the screen up. any ideas ?? thank you

    sounds like a faulty connection, Maybe a broken wire. Worst case scenario damaged connector on the board (unlikely)

    Its a discontinued model I believe so it could be more expensive to repair than its worth. Unless you fancy a go at doing it yourself?

    Many thanks

    I think the loose connection problem. Not an expert, so may have to invest in a new model.
