Okay, so i'm working on a friends Thinkpad 360CSE...

Well, IBM's website is a flagarant piece of crap... I'm shocked at their ads where they, IBM, thinks they have a good web solution... well, their site sure doesn't show it...

Anyway, the display doesn't work on the laptop. If you hook up a monitor to the back of the laptop it works like a charm, but the LCD just won't work on it. It flashes for a moment than shows nothing, each time you boot up. The rest of the system is fine.

It's not a bios issue, I know that, so it's got to be hardware issue. However, I can't even figure out how to get into where the LCD is... the things built so that no one can open it (although, it's a piece of crap because the plastic casing is breaking everywhere.

Does anyone have a clue how to fix this or even how to get into the LCD area? Thanks!
