I stumbled into a little bit of a problem here. Let me just explain how it happened. I had some problems with the hinge on my laptop (opening lid caused front/back lid to open from hinge area). Opened it up and saw what was holding the screws in totally broke off. I then said whatever aslong as the laptop works.. So I turned on my laptop and everything sounds and looks normal on the keyboard but the screen totally remained black. I've unplugged whatever the lcd was connected to and replugged them and still got a black screen. I could though connect it to a vga and watch what is on my screen. I've tried to reset bios but that only broke my boot. When I start my laptop I got the "your laptop needs to be repaired " garbage.. after a couple of days of digging I found some solution which only cause me to reinstall windows 8.1 BUT the screen is still blank. I don't know how I could have damaged it as it was working fine before I messed around with the lid... I don't know what else I could do. I really would appreciate your help fixing this black screen!
