Repair information for this Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14IAL7. Originally released May 2022.

Intermittent black screen when the screen angle is changed.

When I move the angle of my laptop - push it back, pull it towards me - the screen becomes black.

The laptop has been gently used for 4 years - bought new.

Hi @uttampadukone

Seems like it could be a loose eDP (video) cable connection either at the motherboard end or the LCD screen end. It could also be that the eDP cable is damaged where it passes through the hinge to get from the motherboard to the LCD panel in the lid but this is usually more a permanent problem and not so much intermittent.

Here's the hardware maintenance manual for the laptop.

Go to p.45 → p.49 (51 →55 of 82 pdf) in the manual, to view the procedure to remove and disassemble to the LCD module. This will allow you to inspect the eDP cable connections at both ends and also the eDP cable itself to see if all is OK or not.
