Dell Alienware M18X Black Screen Problems

Dell Alienware M18X Black Screen Problems Questions:

Yesterday I decided to update the drivers to 12.1 from the stock dell drivers (Dell Alienware M18X blu-ray Combo Drives) and now the screen is black. When I reboot, no bios screen or anything. Not sure what happened. During install, there were flashes and changes but I didn't think anything of them as this happens with driver installs sometimes. How to solve the problems? Thanks.

Answers:
90% chance it's the cable, and it's actually pretty easy to fix. Just pop it open and take apart your screen. Just make sure you remember in what order you take it apart so you can put it back together with the same ease. Also take out the battery before doing this, because you can hurt yourself if you're not careful. The cable should be very obvious, and it might even slip out of where it's plugged in if it's as loose as it seems. Just push on all the connectors and ensure they're all tight. After that, before putting it back together, put the battery back in and start it up. Don't touch any wires, just watch the screen and see if it's having the same issues.
If it's not looseness, it's your cable. Then you can simply buy another and pop and swap.
