Top half of screen has gone dark Acer Aspire E5 576g

The top half of the laptop screen is dark, but the image can still be seen. The top right corner went dark months ago and in the beginning could be coaxed into lighting up again by pushing the back of the screen some. The top left corner went dark a few weeks ago, and again, could be coaxed into coming back on by pressing and holding the back of the screen. 

I want to try my hand at fixing it before the whole screen goes. 

Any idea what parts I should replace? My guess is the screen itself is ok but there's some other hardware issue. 

It's an Acer Aspire E5 576g and the laptop is barely two years old but travels a lot so may have seen some light abuse...

You probably need a new LCD video ribbon cable from the wear and tear of opening and closing the lid too much. Google 'E5-576G" 'lcd cable' for vendors. Jack E/NJ
