As the title states, the screen works no problem between the angles of about 20 degrees and 70 degrees open, but when going past that it dims to 99% as if the screen was under the 10 degree open mark which "shuts" the screen off. 
This is the case regardless of whether I am on windows, Linux or in the BIOS, so this is a hardware problem. 
I opened up the laptop and realized there is a metal piece of the motherboard which touches the hinges, it seems to me that when this has full contact the screen is lit but I am not sure, I think that perhaps the metal got worm down and now it doesn't make full contact when the screen is fully open - this is unconfirmed.

I want to know if anyone knows a quick fix such as software forcing the screen on (I tried from the power settings on windows and the BIOS, I couldn't spot anything that works), note that adjusting the brightness doesn't work as it is disabled during this 99% dim mode. Otherwise maybe one of you dealt with this and fixed it in a different way. 

Thanks.
