Acer nitro 5 - What screen cable do I need for my laptop

So I have an Acer nitro 5 and the hinges became lose and started to cause problems, I went to a laptop repair shop and the screen was replaced and it worked for a while, have the same issue again, went to a different shop was charger 200 and they done absolutely nothing, screen stays black, works fine with a hdmi but I think it might be the cable causing the problem because it started when I tilted the screen, also occasionally when I tilt the screen the laptop just powers off and I have to restart it. If anyone has any idea what's going on I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.

Have you checked if the edp cable is actually connected to the motherboard and the display?

Man I'm really not in the know about computers, I'm unsure about any wires

It does sound like the cable to me. This is where the eDP cable connects to the Motherboard, you will have to remove the back of the laptop, watch video below. Please click Yes if this answers your question
