Samsung impression lcd screen problems

I have had my samsung impression for quite a while now with no problems. Lately, though, my lcd screen has been having some problems. It works fine when I have the slider keyboard out but right when I slide the keyboard back into the phone the lcd screen goes black. It used to stay lit and show my background and everything. Is there a way I can fix this? I have tried taking the battery out and all that but that doesn't seem to work either. Please help!

It sounds like the ribbon cable that connects the screen and the pcb is damaged or there is some dirty in-between the contacts of the slider mechanism. The only way around this is to take it apart and find out. I recommend you take it to AT&T to be serviced.

I've read of others with the same, or opposite problem (screen goes black when the open it).

Yes, the problem may lies in the flex cable ribbon, if not , then the screen has some problems.
