Is there a Screen switch?

Recently started having problems with the screen turning on/off intermittently. Opening the screen sometimes it goes blank, fades or screen is all grey. Noticed that if I grab the right corner near the hinge and squeeze upper and lower halves together it comes on. Also noticed the screw at that corner holding the halves together is stripped. Is there a switch in there that activates the screen when opened. I cannot remove the stripped screw. It is stripped in place and will not come out. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I believe you would have to replace the LCD, I've had this issue in the past and I believe that's what I did. There should not be an "LCD Switch" and as for the stripped screw, I would try using a flat heat. I use two methods of removal of stripped screws. I either solder something into the screw and then remove it or I Dremel a pattern and unscrew it with a flat head.

I'm not sure if this helps but good luck!
