It's likely that the flex cable is no longer properly seated. That's the cable that connects the screen to your systemboard. If you feel comfortable with disassembling your computer, you can use the tutorials on ifixit.com to expose the cable and unplug and reseat it.

Yea this happened to my dell and it was just that the cable was a little loose, should just go back to normal once seated properly again

hi, maybe im gonna try the guide on ifixit.com, is it risky if i follow the instructions carefully. i assume i need to follow the instructions as if i was fitting a new screen. cheers
