    I have a Toshiba L35-S2171. When I boot it up the bottom 1/3 of the screen is dark. If I press on the left side screen mask, it may show all of the screen or the bottom 2/3rds will be dark. The part that is lit up looks normal and displays desktop icons. The part thats dark has 4 wide verticle stripes on the left side. I'm thinking that the LCD connecting cable may be loose or bad. Does anyone know of any thing else that would cause it.

    It does sound like a bad ribbon.
