I saw your reply but there was nothing in it. Did you ever find a solution to your screen problem?
No did not , I did some research and it might have something to do with the backlight chip being burnt out on the motherboard.I am going to take it into the shop as see what the problem is I'll tell you once it's done so you may be able to fix it yourself.
Thanks so much for your reply. There's a repair guy here in town too so I might get him to take a look. I'll let you know.
My backlight came back on again for about 20 minutes. I was running it through hdmi to another monitor when it happened.
Also... while it was back on, there was distinct screen flickering... but it went away when the laptop was on charge. Came back again whenever I unplugged it.
And... slightly twisting the laptop base can halt the flickering too. Maybe it's a motherboard component.
Very unimpressed that the hinge was built so poorly though. If it had been stronger, none of this would have happened. Excellent laptop otherwise!
