If my laptop screen is exposed to medium or strong sunlight it goes flickering and black. If i turn it away from the source (even a reflection will trigger it) it works fine again. It has been doing this for 5 years now and nobody seems to know this problem. Please help
 
the screen might have worn away, so the sunlight affects the crystals in ur LCD which causes them to die
