Hmm - has there been any damage? The ribbon is wrapped a couple of times round the hinge pin to provide room for it to move without stretching as the display moves. Orange blinky power light suggests unhappiness in the battery department. Are you able to try this with another cell? Perhaps the case flexing as you move the lid is causing a problem in the battery unit or in the connector. Or, can you try it without the cell at all, just external power? (Caveat: I believe the book says don't run without the batteries. I have run for short periods without apparent harm without them - your mileage may vary.)
