My R3-471t laptop was showing only a black screen with a faint white flickering when powering on. Nothing else would show up, and when I plugged an HDMI into a TV, nothing came on either. I tried reseating the LCD connector, however this just led to a strobe-like pattern on startup. You can slightly see it in the video I linked. I'm not sure if I broke something else while trying to reseat the connector or what. Could this still be the LCD connector that I just didn't connect well enough, or is it something else?
