Backlight problem Compaq evo n1020v

I am not familiar with the N1020v, but I did successfully repair a simiar
problem with a Gateway Solo 9500 notebook. The notebook had an erratic
backlight problem, flashing on and off when the screen was tilted at different
angles. I opened up the chassis and compared with with a later almost identical
model of Gateway Solo 9550. On the later model, there was a small metal brace
which held the LCD connector in place on the motherboard. I moved the brace
from one computer to the other and the problem was solved.

If you can find any service manual for the N1020v, the problem may well be
something you can repair yourself. You need a steady hand, fingers able to
grasp tiny parts, and the usual collection of small screwdrivers, both flat-head
and Philips head... Ben Myers

could fix it for the price of a new one, besides the HP problem (asking too
much) does anyone know this problem ??
