    Hey all,
    A couple weeks ago my screen started being sketchy - the screen would freeze and it would start to get fuzzy/white gradually over a few seconds until the screen went all white. But if I tilted the screen up or down it would come back.
    This gradually got worse over the last couple weeks so that it now happens almost all the time, and the tilting doesn't really fix it, touching the screen on the outer edges seems to help - putting pressure on certain points brings the screen back from the white, but then release it the screen does the slow white takeover again.
    Any ideas what the issue is?
    Replace the LCD screen? Or simply a loose cable or bad connector?
    Thanks for any help you can provide!
