Tablet Wont Work Unless I Hold Both Sides Together At The Same Time

[Kady1422]

My tablet screen wont show unless I squeeze each side,front and back together,impossible to actually use it like this as I only have two hands!.Any ideas for a fix would be greatly appreciated

 

[RumoredNow]

Sounds like the ribbon cable to the screen has worked loose?

It's a hardware problem and if you aren't comfortable opening the case, seek qualified repair. I assume, of course, that any warranty has expired. If you have some kind of buyer protection in place contact them.

Yes i'm comfortable trying it myself as its no longer under warranty and I really dont want to lose everything thats on it,i've already had the back off numerous times just have no idea what to look for.Can you tell me what it looks like please?

Ugh. Did you try opening it up again and rechecking the connections? Another thing to consider is to get a replacement battery, which you can find at a lot of online sites.
