Half of the screen is black
Screen has no *serious* physical damage (no cracks), but half of it is black. Touch screen works (including the black part of the screen).
What’s the problem and how to fix it?

Hi @icecom ,
Has the tablet been dropped or gotten wet at all?
Connect an external monitor to the tablet's mini HDMI port to check if it shows a full display.
If it shows a full display then you have either got a video flex cable problem, a video flex cable connection problem or a LCD display panel problem.
If the external monitor's display also shows only a half screen display, then you have a GPU/motherboard problem in the tablet.
Here’s a link to the ifixit Nvidia Shield Tablet guide which may be of some help in opening the tablet so that the video flex cable/connector can be inspected if you have determined that it is not the GPU that is the problem.
Oops! I'd like to change my mind.
