iBook's screen lights only when the top is open just a crack

My wife's iBook worked fine up until she really, really needed it. Opening
the laptop fully results in a completely black screen. Opening it just a
crack let's it shine its full glory onto the keyboard. You can't type and
see the screen at the same time, though.

I assume this is a loose wire at the hinge, and I'll take it to a local
repair shop, but I wanted to post here first and see if there's a known
problem that I can point out to the repair guys.
