Pressure on Psone screen

I am making the handmade snesp in ben's book and it is almost done. THe problem is, whenever I put any pressure on the top of the psone screen's ribbon cable connector or around this area, the picture gets messed up. THis doesn't make sense why this would happen, please help! After the picture gets messed up, if I just lightly press on the top of the ribbon cable connector on the screen, the picture looks okay again. The sound is not affected. I cannot close up the portable, because the ribbon cable connector always gets touched and the picture messed up again

Sounds like the cable isn't in the connectors tight. Of coarse the sound isn't affected, because the sound doesn't go to the LCD.

...I figured it out. I pulled the whole clamp off the board when I took the screen apart, instead of opening it... Suprisingly, the screen did work fine for awhile after i pressed the clamp back onto the board. The screen is ruined now, I bought a new one.

If you ruined the clamp, you can try soldering wires from the ribbon cable to the contacts, but this is very hard. If all else fails, you've got speakers, extra connectors for the screen, and an LCD panel in case you break the new one. Also, if you can isolate the audio amp, you could make yourself a nice pair of amplified headphones.

I thought if all else fails, use fire.....

Here, if all else fails, use a soldering iron.

Are you talking about the brown thing or the white thing on the back of the LCD? Because if the Mobo is unharmed I'll buy it.

well a soldering iron is like fire, except metal and not all flamey.

The clamp is both brown and white, the brown part is what opens, and the white part stays on the board. Sorry, whats a mobo?

Mobo=motherboard.

Ok thanks. The white part was part of the motherboard, that I pulled off, so you probably won't want it, nes man.
