Hi. This is my first time trying to fix a computer by myself, but I’m desperate -old lady, low fixed income & this is my only computer. Please, please help! Trying to replace LCD cable, not the screen itself from HP15-ay041wm. [Screen fading from various shades of color to white & cursor freezes. Have to keep moving/tilting screen till find the “sweet spot". Then have to keep holding onto screen w/one hand while trying to type w/other. That lasts a few moments, but it eventually starts going goofy again & I have to find its new sweet spot. Hear this seems to be pretty common w/this model.] Followed your terrific directions & removed screen & disco’d the cable from screen, but now I’m stuck & panicking. How do I get the old cable past the hinge setup, get bad cable out of the main guts of the comp & get the new cable in? I’ve got this thing taken apart, scared to death I’m gonna ruin the whole computer and I can’t afford a new one. So grateful for your help. Thx, God bless, be safe & well!
