-**A:** This could be caused by many things, but there is a chance the laptop lid open/close switch is just stuck in the on position. This rather low-quality plastic switch is designed to detect when the display lid is closed, and will cut the power to the display. It engages whenever the lid is closed, and since it is near the power supply the rod that engages the switch bends over time and may get stuck inside the switch. The symptom you will see is a screen that will never seem to turn on when you open the lid, or will have a noisy picture, due to the switch stuck half-on. If you cannot repair the switch manually, as a workaround, you can disable it by removing the plastic ​rod that engages ​the switch. Please see the gallery section for an image of the switch.+**A:** This could be caused by many things, but there is a chance the laptop lid open/close switch is just stuck in the on position. This rather low-quality plastic switch is designed to detect when the display lid is closed, and will cut the power to the display. It engages whenever the lid is closed, and since it is near the power supply the rod that engages the switch ​slowly melts and bends over time and may get stuck inside the switch. The symptom you will see is a screen that will never seem to turn on when you open the lid, or will have a noisy picture, due to the switch stuck half-on. If you cannot repair the switch manually, as a workaround, you can disable it by removing the plastic ​piece entirely, as this will only make the screen stay on while the lid is closed. Please see the gallery section for an image of the switch.
