Exclamation 10v on OS X Boots to Blank/Black Screen! - 10-19-2011, 11:16 AM

I got my mini about a year ago and about a month ago, the screen started flickering. It has gotten worse to the point where I have to keep the screen tilted all the way back to see anything. (Idk if this is related)

Anyway the problem is: my Dell mini 10v keeps booting to a blank screen. I've reinstalled the system, not updating this time and it worked a few times and then went back to booting into a blank screen... Help!!! :-(

I played around with the display settings when I re-installed the first time and found out that any frequency change resulted in a blank screen too.

That you have to tilt the screen to see anything suggests that the cable from the screen to the display controller is damaged or broken or that the connector is loose on the motherboard. No matter what the cause, it doesn't look good.
