Hello all, I've recently been having an issue with my Acer Chromebook 15 CB3-531-C4A5 (P/N is NX.G15AA.001 and no real changes besides the usual updates that are thrown out). It's been a problem for the past week but today it just got worse. My screen flickers and falls to black whenever I move it. I have had it for about 2 years now, and I'm almost certain the warranty is expired. When it first started doing it about a week ago all I had to do was move it a little bit and it'd turn back on and it'd be fine, but now since today it feels like whenever I have to fiddle with it now it's now a matter of chance and luck if it works or not. As in the video I linked, it shows what's going on. Also in the video, sometimes moving the screen ends up blacking it out and not even moving it works, so I have to turn the brightness all the way down (where it blacks the screen out) and turn it back up and continue fiddling with the screen hoping it'll turn back on and I can continue using it. Another thing to point out is when it is on, sometimes no matter where I bump into it (screen, below the keyboard, etc) it still ends up blacking out. Another note to make; how I move the screen also depends on what it does, in the video I'm pushing the right side of the screen forward to get it to come on, but when it is on and working, and I pull the right side back (as if to close it), it blacks out. The opposite on the left side, forward blacks it out, pulling it back turns it back on, hence why I reached towards the right side to pull it back. It worries me since I fear that at some point it'll just black out and no matter how many times I fiddle with it it will never come back on, it's nearly unusable as it is. Is there a potential short in the wiring that's causing it to do this, or is it something else? And is it at the point where I have to bring it in to someone and see if they can get it fixed or do I just have to get a new one? Or is anything that I could possibly do to fix it? Thanks.
