i have an asus ultrabook
i'm pretty handy with computers but I've hit a brick wall
i replaced a cable ribbon and now I'm ready to put everything back
i'm stuck on the hinge area...i managed to get it to close 110-120 degrees but it won't budge any further...i've checked the cables near it and it's not getting in the way. It's not a popular laptop so no luck on youtube.

i'm guessing there's a failsafe that prevents you from hyperextending your screen. Does anyone know how I can 'reset' it so it'll close?

thanks.
