my next step was to strip it and see if theres a bad connection between the keyboard and screen?ideas?
If the laptop is under warranty, send it in. If you open it, it may void the warranty for any further work you might need in the future.
If it's not under warranty, and you're comfortable opening the laptop, check the connection. As CC said, it's between the screen and the motherboard. Oddly enough, the connection usually seems to be on the left hinge, but it might be on the right. (Most of the ones I've worked on had it on the left)
Check that the connector is securely connected to the motherboard and that none of the wires look worn through. Checking the wires themselves might be difficult depending on how they put the laptop together, as sometimes the wires are wrapping in something, sometimes they're a flat ribbon cable.
If they're wires, you might be able to find a good electronics repair or computer repair shop that can replace the bad wire. If it's a ribbon cable type, some of them are replaceable without changing the screen, and some aren't.
