Skyfire IV screen problem

[Danmill88]

Hi guys

I bought a Skyfire IV about 6 weeks ago and I have been chuffed to bits with it since. However this morning when I open the lid the screen went white and none responsive. After moving it around a bit the screen came back on again so it's obviously just a dodgy connection (I assume). Having only really messed around with PCs in the past I would just like to ask how easy is it to open up and check the connection on these things?

Cheers

Screens can be fiddly although it's likely just the connector to the motherboard. You'd have to remove the keyboard and find the connector under that. That bits easy, I'll see if I can find a tear down manual for the skyfire.

This is about the best i could find, usually you remove the keyboard and the LCD connectors are under that, but this doesn't make things too clear:

I unfortunately couldn't figure out how to get to the connection so I'm thinking of just sending it to PCS and getting them to sort it under warrenty. Do you think there will be any issues with this?
