Laptop Screen Backlight turning off

[Lil' J]

Hi

Got a problem with my laptop, it’s a cheap one I got from a well known computer shop about 18months ago. Need a replacement but stuck with this for the moment.

Basically the backlight goes off when I open the lid too far, I can't even open the lid 90degrees without the light going off.

Does anyone know any quick fixes, or where to get it fixed for cheap as I don't really want to spend too much on this laptop.

Thanks in advance

edit out the competitor mate,

No name dropping is allowed on the forums.

Cant think of a cheap fix, will either be the invertor or the screen itself.

Could be a case of taking it apart and checking the conections to the screen
