Loose Display Cable?

Screen goes in and out on my n4010. If i twist the screen or push on it in a certain way i can get the picture back on. Is it possible i just have a bed connection on one of the ends of the display cable?

So most laptops use LCDs, which are liquid crystal displays. Those displays require a vacuum to work internally, and are a series of vertical matrices. Simply put, there is a seal on the edge of the screen that can fail, and will create a vertical striping situation. Twisting the screen temporarily creates a vacuum and it 'works' :)   The fix is to replace the LCD. If it is a dell - might see if you can buy a warranty plan on it - then call in to dell and they might replace it then.
