Help Droid 4 Screen won't work with Keyboard out

So last night, my Droid 4's display stopped working whenever I slid the keyboard out. It just goes black. I can still type and then when I slide the keyboard back and the screen comes back, it has typed letters.
I don't think there was a drop or any one incident that made it stop, so I don't know what caused it.
If I unlock the screen orientation, I can still rotate it to landscape. It's just the screen goes off when the keyboard comes out.
I'm afraid it's a hardware issue because I just did a hard reset with the same problems.
Anyone else had this problem?
It's less than a year old, will Motorola still cover it?
I recently moved to Amsterdam and cancelled my Verizon service, so I can't get them to fix it.
 
I have approx the same with my droid 3, but worser: when slide out, screen Fades black, device stays on ( i can receive calls etc ) but screen does not come back anymore.

I had the same issue with my previous droid 3 ( screen was returning when slide in again ( to portrait ) This was solved after replacing the flex cable , which wasnt a easy job

Im from Netherlands too..
