Had the same problem with my G12. I opened up the LCD display unit to check the wires, but they seemed to be fine. Then I removed the two screws of the LCD hinge cover to see how the articulated LCD unit switch or sensor works. They seem to look like cam actuated switches (but too tiny to figure out how they work). I then used a small toothpick and applied a tiny bit of grease (non conductive if possible) on the actuator portion, making sure nothing goes to the electronic. Then exercise display unit, a couple of times. Those tiny switches seem to freeze up as they age. It fixed my G!2. Good luck!
