A31 - no screen after disassembly

#1 Post by TheForgottenKing » Tue Mar 05, 2019 12:23 pm

I disassembled my A31p and a small part came out. I think it is the screen closed detection mechanism. Now the screen won't turn on, but external monitor works. Not sure where it goes. Can provide a picture in a few hours, but has anyone encountered this? It looks like a small piece of metal with a plastic blob in the middle and a hole in one side.

How did you come to that conclusion ?
