Screen "flickers" when moved

[Antx777]

Hello, As per title really, I have a Toshiba Satelite A100 Notebook (18 months old - out of warrentee). EVERYTHING works ok, but when i want to "tilt/Move" the screen, it flickers, like on/off (not a screen malfunction you would see as artifacts etc)

Anyone know what this could be?. It fine if i don't move the screen though, but i sense a bad connection issue here.

TIA

yep will be a loose connection, usually to the inverter or the mainboard as its the backlight turning on and off very quickly that causes the flicker. would recommend reseating them and spraying with contact cleaner as oxidisation can cause it too.

Thanks Beermonster. It's not "that bad" though, that i should risk going inside it...yet, but maybe if it worsens i will look into it more...
