Hi all,

I'm using a Lenovo Y500 laptop, and I'm having the problem where if I open the lid too far the screen blacks out. I remember slightly smacking my laptop against the side of the car the other day, but it shouldn't have caused much damage. If I don't open the lid as far out as I normally do, it's okay. Can anybody tell me what I should do to fix it? I've had it for less than a year but I can't afford to send it to Lenovo for repair (cost and time without it).

Thank you,

John
 
Unless you know what you are doing, send it in for repair or have a local repair guy do it. Nothing you can do to fix this without cracking open the case and playing with the wires. I'd suggest you don't keep moving it far out so it blacks out if you don't want to fix it, at some point the connection will totally break and the screen will stop working at any time.
