T23 loose video when press down or pivot LCD.

#1 Post by Bucksnort101 » Fri Sep 29, 2006 8:57 am

I have several T23 (2647-AU5) Thinkpads that have the same issue. They seem to loose video momentarily in these three conditions.
1. Press down on the left top portion of the LCD case.
2. Pivotinf the LCD to different positions causes video to be lost.
3. Pressing on the top LCD cover in a certain position, seems to be
near the front left top corner of the LCD cover, you can also see
a small rectangular whitish box on the LCD screen that
corresponds the the pressure point. This spot looks to be where
where the Wireless antenna runs along the LCD cover.
All units have build in Wireless antenna so I have started by reseating the video connection and retaping the antenna with no change.
Second I have removed the antenna and then seem to loose video entirely.
So far I have come across a half dozen of this exact model with the same problem and was wondering if anyone else has seen this and what they have done to fix it other than just replacing the LCD assembly?
