I have a Compaq laptop that I bought in early 2008, so it has served me well up to this point...
However, lately, when I open it up, if I tilt the screen too far backwards, the screen will lose its image and go white. If I pull the screen back towards me a bit (so it is straight up and down) the image blinks back on.
Never having a laptop apart before, I'm assuming there's a ribbon cable in there, that feeds the screen. Is that cable getting a short in it, when I tilt the screen too far backwards?
