Bad laptop screen connection

You must know how to replace the cable from the PC to your screen!
Since the cable placement is done during the PC assembly.

As I suspected, the wires deteriorate and break from constantly opening and closing the cover, which causes intermittent connections.

Well, you were right after all... in the light, I saw that the screen was indeed on, but not backlit...

So I touched the cable that brings the backlight and it's definitely the one that's acting up, but the problem is that it's not the connectors that are faulty, it's the wires...
So I'll have to see, but I need to "strip" the wires, they're wrapped in some sort of tape but I think it's thermal...

But if you have overheating issues,
the problem comes from what you do with your laptop.
Dust in general causes overheating!
But games are often the cause of damage to a laptop.

In reality, it's my mother's laptop.
It has no dust at all, and the fan is brand new; she bought a new one for 50€, so that's my reason for wanting to give it a second life.

So yes, it has "endured" Facebook games ^^ but that's not it, well, not ONLY that.
It's a Dell Vostro 1310; according to several forums, it has overheating issues with the GPU, the primary cause being the design of the laptop's chassis, which apparently was rushed to get it to market quicker (you can tell by its relatively low price as well).

Otherwise, when I removed the sandpaper tape around the Screen/PC ribbon cable (since it was at this point that it would turn back on when I touched it), I noticed something quite strange, a wire that I believe is unnaturally exposed; I'm attaching the photo.

In the foreground, you can see the exposed cable; it starts with a black insulation, then nothing... and then back to being insulated.

Tomorrow, I think I will go to Brico Depot to buy insulating tape and adhesive fiberglass cloth (the stuff that was surrounding it; by the way, what a mess with all these compressed cables...)

Yes, I admit I was wrong, but I accept my defeat :p

I didn't have time to buy what I wanted, but I don't want to spend at least €30 on a tablecloth... too bad...
it will be a laptop on an external screen.

I didn't understand about the button on the keyboard that the screen presses on ^^

Otherwise, I also took off the cover behind the screen, I tried moving each cable one by one, it didn't change the display, it only happens when I tilt the screen..
But I don't understand how it detects that the lid is closed, since the hinge is not connected to anything (isn't wired to anything)..

So my problem lies there, I don't know where to look at this level, since I don't see any issues with the cables.

Yeah..
But since it has overheating issues, I'll think about whether it's worth it to buy a new cable...

Otherwise, I don't see why you're telling me I need to know how to replace the ribbon cable...

But I think I know.

I don't think so, I really looked closely, when I move the screen no wires move, no tension is created..

So I think it's coming from the screen closing mechanism, when we close the lid, the screen goes off as soon as we get a few cm from total closure.

Well, it's doing the same thing for me, except that the system is reversed, when it's fully open it's black, and as soon as I close it halfway it turns back on.

I'll try again later.

Is there a button on your keyboard that the screen presses down on!
Or is it in the lid of your laptop.
If it's in the lid, there's a problem with the connection wires;
the sleep wires of your screen.

Seeing the tablecloth, it must have had quite a heat stroke.
But it was indeed the tablecloth that was the problem, as I suggested!
These Dells are low-end, cheap PCs and generally don't last long.
And I think these PCs are made > Made in China.

PS. Regularly create a restore point! It solves quite a few problems.
