Acer Aspire S7 392. screen backlight issues

sup3rgr33k

The screen backlight has issues staying on. At various angles of the laptop's lid being open, the backlight will turn off. It often takes me upwards of 30 seconds of fiddling with the screen just to be able to see the content on the screen. Seems most likely to be a hardware/quality/manufacturing issue. I've had the laptop for two years now, and have never dropped it or mishandled it. I first had issues with the backlight a few weeks ago where the backlight flickered once, and has gotten progressively worse to the point where now there's probably 100 degrees of a "dead area" where the backlight is instable and dies out randomly. HELPPP

 

I know it's a backlight issue because when it does die, I can shine a light on the screen and can still interact with the screen (touchscreen) and can see the text moving.
