Lenovo laptop problem...

[silicon]

the problem with this lenovo y500 is the screen seems intermittent, changes color, display get fuzzy etc,when when being opened and closed. Just wondering what the problem might be...

Cable. I have an old Lenovo that does this. I just live with it, as the laptop has had a hard life from the previous owner, and I don't really care, nor do I use it much. If you feel like taking it apart, it is a fixable issue though.

is it something the average joe can do? My thought the cable is bad but then these cables go into a little clip on type connector and these can give trouble. THX

I think you will get a good idea of the cable location, model, and what is involved here:

I used a similar manual when replacing the power connector on mine.
