start with blank screen and monitor position
Dell inspiron 14 bought in March 2011, and recently got this problem, every time it start with blank screen (with strips) , first I thought it might be VGA card problem, but one day when I was adjusting the monitor position (toward to keyboard or far from the keyboard position), by a chance, the screen came back, for the past two weeks, it always like this, start with blank screen, and a few minutes late, when I try to adjust the monitor screen for several times to a certain position, the monitor displays fine, but sometimes when it is in middle of the time, the screen display faded and also the mouse point is frozen, and I have to turn off the laptop and restart, then repeat the same problem above, I wonder if anyone has experience like this and help me on this problem, Thanks

Hi dazhu,
This could be a faulty LCD cable or a loose connection. Try reseating the LCD cable.
Also provide the exact model name so that I can guide you on reseating the LCD cable.

Hi Harish
Thank you very much for your help and expertise , I am not sure if the following info is enough :
1. Inspiron 14R (on my order sheet -description)
2. on the back of the laptop:
Inspiron N4010
Service tag :
Reg Mode : P11G
at this moment I need to adjust my LCD several times to a certain position to make the screen visible, otherwise, the mouse is invisible /frozen, or screen blank with wide strips. you are right, it seems to somewhere have connection problem, if you can tell me where I need to look at for the problem.
Thanks a lot.
