    If you're comforatable opening the laptop the connector is usually a ribbon type job. Should be relatively easy to access and check to see if it's securely seated.

    How do you think we have an idea what the problem is? Anyone who has fixed a few laptops gets to recognise signs of common of problems.

    Unless you can find two different shops to diagnose the problem for free, you're not going to be able to confirm the issue. Just find a place and get a quote for the repair.
