Laptop Screen Issue

[hcs]

Hello, I have a laptop which everytime I open the screen all the way, the back light shuts off. If it is open about an inch the backlight will turn on, but anymore then an inch, it will flicker and shut off... Does anyone know if this would need replacing of the backlight, or a new lcd inverter? Thanks

i don't know what an inverter is, but to me it sounds like the sensor that knows when the screen is open got maladjusted or is broken. if you don't want to repair it then perhaps there is a bios setting where you can have the backlight always on.
