Hi guys
I am having a problem deducing the issue with a friend's laptop.
It's a Toshiba Equium U400, not sure the rest of the specs are relevant.
Basically the screen ONLY works if it is angled all the way back. And it works 100% perfectly fine in this position. However, if you try to angle the screen down (in a closing direction), the screen will immediately turn white. You can then tilt the screen backwards again and press FN+F5 (shortcut for alternate display) and it will flash back to life again.
I assume that it is a cable connection issue? And would rule out faulty LCD/inverter if it works at one angle?
I have tried researching this and have only found issues where the screen turns black, not white.
I don't have my screwdrivers with me and cannot open the screen yet to check connections. I am just curious if anyone knows if this behaviour is linked to motherboard, etc.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Josh
