Top screen only works at a certain angle

The top screen only works at a certain angle, otherwise, it is either black or full of static. I think it may be an issue with the wiring especially because a part of the plastic protective shell has broken off around one of the hinges meaning they no longer work. What can I do to fix it? everything else is good.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi

You will need to replace the shell and screen assembly as there is a ribbon cable that flexes when you open and close the display and it sounds like that one has broken in your case

Here’s the teardown you will need
