Chosen Solution
My laptop screen has been messed up for a few months now(out of warranty). The screen randomly stopped working, it turns on but the screen will grey, no response at all. I already diagnosed it as a LCD/connection/motherboard problem, not video card. If I press the screen in a certain way it will work until my finger is off. If I reseat the LCD by unscrewing and replacing it on the laptop lid, the special spot might change. I used to “fix” the issue by using folded up paper to apply pressure to the bottom of the screen(which was the sweet spot at the time for a few weeks) until the spot changed for good and now requires more pressure than before to make the screen display properly. The folded up paper doesn’t work anymore. I have already tried reseating the cable a few times just to see if it was a bad connection but that didn’t change anything. I’m looking for a more permanent solution other than buying an LCD screen. New screens cost around $70 right now and I would rather buy a completely new laptop than waste more money on Toshiba. I personally would’ve never bought a toshiba laptop but my father bought it for me to use at college even though I would’ve picked a better model/brand. Is there a way to repair the screen? Does anyone else have a creative way to apply pressure the screen without me needing to use my finger?
